According to http://redgreenblu.com/flickr/ (found via the flickr  
project on rubyforge) what you're doing SHOULD work. Are you sure  
you're picking up the right thing? On dreamhost, try:

% ./script/console
 >> require 'flickr'
 >> $".grep(/flickr/i)

and make sure it came from your vendor dir. If it did, then I suspect  
you might have picked up a different lib than what you thought.
