New to rspec, error running "rake rspec" on debian/etch

I have the latest version of rspec and rails-rspec installed. I’m using
the debian versions of ruby and rails. On a new project after a
generate an “rspec_model” and then try to run “rake spec”, I get the
following error:

dan@dan-server:~/projects/cw/registration$ rake spec

Any suggestions on how to get around this?

What specifically did you install? Also what version of rails? Include
revision numbers if you can.

Also - did you install ruby & rubygems from source, or did you use a
package manager like dpkg/apt-get ? Debian is notorious for
splitting up the ruby packages unnecessarily.
