Question

I’ve got a problem with devise gem, when I enter rails generate devise:install command there is an error:

I’m using Rails 3.1.1 and Ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) on Linux. And db is postgres.
Here is the line mentioned in the first line of the error log:

constant = constant.const_defined?(name, false) ? constant.const_get(name) : constant.const_missing(name) 

Oh, and I tried other combinations of this command: rails generate devise:install, rails g devise_install and it gives me the same effect

You are using a very old version of Devise that is not even meant to be used in production (it is a release candidate!). Please update your Devise version.
