Pardon the noob question but I simply can't get precompiled Handlebars templates to do anything but barf out
TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'templateSpec.call(container, Handlebars, context, options.helpers, options.partials, options.data)')
each time I apply a context to a (precompiled) template.
Given the following files and contents:
<p>Hello, {{name}}</p> handlebars hello.handlebars -f templates.js index.html: includes Handlebars RC1 runtime in the head and this for the body:
<body id="body"> <script src="templates.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> var compiledTemplate = Handlebars.templates['hello']; var html = compiledTemplate({ name: 'World' }); document.getElementById('body').innerHTML = html; </script> </body> Calling compiledTemplate() throws that error above no matter what I do--yet I'm able to get client-side templates to compile and display just fine. All the walkthroughs and tutorials I've seen skip through this like its obvious so I must be missing something silly. Any ideas?

Be sure to match the versions of the Handlebars server and client packages. A way to check the version of the compiled template is the following:
handlebars a_template_of_yours.handlebars | grep "compilerInfo"
It should output something like this:
this.compilerInfo = [4,'>= 1.0.0'];
The first value is the Compiler Revision, which should match the output of the following code on your browser:
Handlebars.COMPILER_REVISION
If you used npm to download your Handlebars compiler, specify the version which you need. Here is an example for handlebars.runtime-v1.3.0.js:
npm install [email protected] -g

The problem for me is that currently (June 2014), the 2.0 release on GitHub is marked alpha https://github.com/wycats/handlebars.js/releases.
If I install handlebars via bower, it selects the latest stable release. v1.3.0.
npm install handlebars, however, installs the ~2.0.0-alpha.4 version.
Solution: update the version in bower.json to ~2.0.*, and run bower update.
