Answer 1

Is there any chance you pasted this whole snippet for the support file from the config docs?

# RSpec
# spec/support/factory_girl.rb
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods
end

# RSpec without Rails
RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.include FactoryGirl::Syntax::Methods

  config.before(:suite) do
    FactoryGirl.find_definitions
  end
end

If you read the comments you'll see you only want one block or the other. I made this mistake and got the error stated in the question.
