Tried to run a rake command to setup RedMine. Got the following:

C:\Program Files\RedMine\redmine-0.8.4>rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV="production"
C:/Program Files/Ruby/bin/rake:19:in `load': no such file to load -- "C:/Program Files/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/bin/rake" (LoadError)
from C:/Program Files/Ruby/bin/rake:19

C:\Program Files\RedMine\redmine-0.8.4>

No matter what I do with rake, I get the same error.

I looked at the .bat file, the actual rake script, on the web, etc. I cant figure out where this error is coming from. That file exists, so I dont know why its getting a load error.

might be a permissions issue.
And exactly what version of ruby is it?
what do you get when you run
ruby "C:/Program Files/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/bin/rake"
can you cat the file?

Have you checked the cmd file? It might be pointing to an exact location instead of using special batch variables.

Can you try the following?

In a empty folder (no Rakefile or Rails application) perform two things:

rake --version

That is just to know if rake is working.

Then, create a simple rakefile:

require 'rake/clean'

And execute from the command line:

rake -T

If still doesn't work, we need:

gem env

Just an advice: You installed Ruby in a path with spaces (C:\Program Files)

That is not recommended, since some tools do not properly escape paths
(which is not the case of RubyGems or Rake) but could be something
else.

I'm going to uninstall Ruby/Rails/RubyGems and reinstall everything straight onto C:\ since I believe that something, somewhere, does not like the "\Program Files" component of the path.

Thanks,

I don't know if this has been solved anywhere else, but I had the same problem and it appears to be that Gem.bin_path is returning a string with quotes around it, which is then causing a problem for load.
If you change ruby\bin\rake to end with this:
load Gem.bin_path('rake', 'rake', version).gsub(""","")
it gets around the problem.

Not a Redmine problem, I guess, but this issue comes up at the top of a Google search for the error message, so hopefully this can help people while I figure out who/where needs fixing to do the job properly!

This is already fixed in RubyGems repository and will be part of 1.3.5
release in the following days.
