How do you have Thinking Sphinx installed? As a gem, or as a plugin? Either should be fine, but make sure you don't have both (and if you're not using the gem, make sure you don't have any versions of the gem installed, as Ruby may get a little confused). Also - make sure you don't have the old GitHub gem installed (freelancing-god-thinking- sphinx), as that can also cause conflicts.
The error is appearing because ThinkingSphinx::Configuration is a singleton class... but it's been that way for a long long time (if not forever), so I'm not sure what the cause of this is. Can you run the rake task with --trace? rake ts:start --trace Also: what versions of Rails and Thinking Sphinx are you using?
