classes under lib folder are not detected in rails

In my project, I have written few classes under lib folder but rails is not detecting those classes in production environment. I get the uninitalized Constant error.

I use Apache in the production environment and rails script/server in the development environment.

Is anything wrong with RAILS_ROOT environment? Can anyone suggest how to overcome this problem?

Ensure that the name of your file matches the name of the class or module defined in it, accounting for any directories.

ie:

lib/my_new_class.rb

class MyNewClass
end

Or if you have a directory hierarchy:

lib/my_files/my_module.rb

module MyFiles
  module MyModule
  end
end

I am not sure about Rails, but you achieve that in Ruby by this: (it will work in rails too, but rails must be having some elegant way)

require File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), "lib",'your_module_name')
include your_module_name

Try this in config/application.rb (I assume you have rails3)

config.load_paths += %W( #{config.root}/lib )

Update: Rails - why would a model inside RAILS_ROOT/lib not be available in production mode?
