I've installed the latest version of NextGEN gallery (version 2.0.40). All other options like Basic Thumbnails, Basic ImageBrowser, Basic SinglePic are working fine but when I tried to create a Basic Slideshow then it's not working! I can only see the slideshow loading icon but no slideshow images. This is how I called the gallery to a page:
<?php echo nggShowSlideshow(1,300,200); ?>
I've check the error console & its shows following error:
TypeError: jQuery(...).nggShowSlideshow is not a function
timeout: 10000 });
I've searched for solution of this issue & some people suggested to change this:
jQuery(function($){
jQuery('#<?php echo_h($anchor); ?>').nggShowSlideshow({
//code here
});
with this:
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
jQuery('#<?php echo_h($anchor); ?>').nggShowSlideshow({
//code here
});
but it didn't worked for me! By the way, my Wordpress version 3.7.1.
Any ideas? Thanks.

This is kinda odd to answer my own question, but I want to state my findings here so that it might be helpful to others!
What I've figured out is, footer was missing in my page-templates! As most of the wordpress plugin's javascript files are being called through footer so if you miss <?php get_footer(); ?> in your page-templates then you may get such error like TypeError: jQuery(...).nggShowSlideshow is not a function! I've missed footer while working with custom page-templates.

This thread is old but I think it is necessary to add a small remark to the answer:
Don't call get_footer() if you don't need the footer. This function adds the footer-template to the output. I think there may be a good reason why there isn't a get_footer()-call in your template (or another template).
Basically, you are missing wp_footer(). Calling wp_footer() at the end of your body-tag us doing the job:
<body>
...
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
</body>
