Can't run "rake" command with RubyStack 2.1-1 dev on Windows

Hi,

I’ve installed the RubyStack 2.1-1 dev (Ruby 1.9.2, Rails 3.0.3) on Windows 7 x64.

Now I need to install “Spree” (not the Bitnami app stack, but the original app).

Everything worked fine until I needed to run “rake spree_sample:install” but it threw the following error:

D:/Program Files/BitNami RubyStack Development/ruby/lib/ruby/1.9.1/rubygems.rb:340:in `bin_path’: can’t find executable rake for rake-0.8.7 (Gem::Exception)
from D:/Program Files/BitNami RubyStack Development/ruby/bin/rake:19:in `’

Same error occurs when just executing ‘rake’.

Any help would be appreciated. Bare in mind I’m not a RoR expert.
Thank you.

I have fixed it following this article

Hi,

Yes, this is a known issue that we will fix in the next version. Thanks for posting it.

Hi everyone,
Same problem. Win7, RoR 3.0.3, Ruby 1.9.2. Several forums recommend the same patch, but I see no difference after removing the rake.gemspec. Win Path starts with Ruby192. Ideas?
Best,
Brian (also not an RoR expert)

Hi,

Are you running the rake command from the “rubystackconsole” that you can find in the Start Menu Shortcuts? I checked this patch and now it works properly
