Hello
I am new to ruby on rails and trying to get it going on a windows machine
However when I try to run the rake task it always fail with the following error message
C:/Ruby192/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:340:in `bin_path': can't find executable rake for rake-0.8.7 (Gem::Exception) from C:/Ruby192/bin/rake:19:in `<main>'
and I am not quite sure what I should do to fix it...
Thank you in Advance

When you run "gem list" from the command line, does it list "rake (0.8.7)"?
If it does not, run "gem install rake".
gem list posts
*** LOCAL GEMS ***
... rake (0.8.7) ...
and try installing and updating using gem but still doesnt work
Is a bug in Ruby 1.9.2 and the bundled rake.
http://groups.google.com/group/rubyinstaller/browse_thread/thread/9817d0c6c8a48a79/ http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/3805
The solution is in the RubyInstaller thread (remove of rake.gemspec or rename to rake-0.8.7.gemspec)
Well, it's definitely a path problem with Windows...it can't find the executable "rake". It's been a while since I developed rails on a windows machine but when I did I used "ruby installer"...it worked as advertised.
Whatever ruby setup you're using, see if you can find anything about modifying your path so windows knows where to find rubygems.
Okay that fixed the dependicies for the shell, seems like there is something wrong with the gem though.
When i try to use rake from my IDE it searches for the gem and it fails.
Well I can work around it. Thank you
