SignalR's $.hubConnection() not working

I'm trying to implement a chat module in an ASP.NET MVC 4 application based on an example over here. Since this one's not using the latest SignalR version (0.5.3), I had to tweak the code to make it work.

Problem is, I couldn't even get the hubConnection to work. I'm encountering a JS error that says:

Uncaught TypeError: Object function ( selector, context ) {
        // The jQuery object is actually just the init constructor 'enhanced'
        return new jQuery.fn.init( selector, context, rootjQuery );
    } has no method 'hubConnection'

I'm not sure why there's no hubConnection method. I have the latest jQuery and SignalR libraries, and I just followed the SignalR 0.5.3 release notes here. Here's a snippet of the generated code in my View:

<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery.signalR-0.5.3.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/signalr/hubs"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        var connection = $.hubConnection();
        var chatHubClient = connection.createProxy("chatHub");

        connection.start(function () {
            chatHubClient.join('TEST');
        });
    });
</script>

I hope someone can point me to the right direction. Thanks.

I presume you followed the walkthrough that came with 0.5.3's announcement already? http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2012/08/22/announcing-the-release-of-signalr-0-5-3.aspx

make sure you can open both /Scripts/jquery.signalR-0.5.3.js and /signalr/hubs in a browser.
