Authlogic doesn't provide a current_user function. You have to make sure you provide it - in your ApplicationController, say.

Following the example is pretty easy (http://www.binarylogic.com/2008/11/3/tutorial-authlogic-basic-setup). Authlogic is one of the better documented gems out there.

Also, the Google Group (http://groups.google.com/group/authlogic) is very active and quite responsive. You might have better luck there.
