I’m trying my best to get Ruby on Rails installed on Ubuntu 11.04.
I followed the tutorial here: http://stuffingabout.blogspot.com/2011/04/installing-rails-3-on-ubuntu-1104.html

This worked fine until it was installing the documentation for rails-3.0.10 and it had the error:

Installing RDoc documentation for rails-3.0.10…
file ‘lib’ not found

I checked rails was actually installed however using rails -v and saw that rails-3.0.10 was in fact installed.

So, i decided to make a test rails project. I ran into major problems whenever I ran a rake command.

Here is the process of my rails project

Sorry for the long list of code but it might help solve the problem. Why is rake giving me this error??

    bundle exec rake db:migrate is what you need.
