Feedzirra Not Installed Properly?

I'm trying to use Feedzirra in my Rails 3.2 app to do simple feed parsing. I found this online: http://asciicasts.com/episodes/168-feed-parsing. I followed the instructions there to install the gem, but I believe this instructions are somewhat out of date, since it refers to placing a config.gem line in my config/environment.rb file, which cannot accommodate such calls. I am getting an uninitialized constant ApplicationController::Feedzirra error and I'm not sure why.

I put this code in my application controller:

before_filter :load_blog_feed

def load_blog_feed
  feed = Feedzirra::Feed.fetch_and_parse(feed_url)
  @blog_posts = feed.entries[0...3]
end

I placed this line in config/application.rb:

config.gem "pauldix-feedzirra", :lib => "feedzirra", :source => "http://gems.github.com"

Lastly, I placed this code in a view:

<div id="blog_feed">
  <% @blog_posts.each do |post| %>
    <p>
      <span class="post_title"><%= link_to "#{post.title} >>", post.url %></span><br>
      by <span class="post_author"><%= post.author %></span> on <span class="post_date"><%= post.published %></span>
    </p>
  <% end %>
</div>

For Rails 3.2 , to be more precise, add the following line to config/application.rb file :

config.gem "feedzirra", :lib => "feedzirra", :source => "http://gems.github.com"

and following line to Gemfile :

gem 'feedzirra'

Then run :

bundle install

Then you can use feedzirra in your application smoothly.

Ok, I found the answer... just include gem 'feedzirra' in your Gemfile and run bundle install. gem 'pauldix-feedzirra' doesn't seem to work, though.
