Rake db:create failing in fresh rails 3.1 app

Question

On the 3.1RC, I have created a new app, and when I try to run the db:create job I'm getting this:

[15:38][*********@***********:~/**********/db(master)]$ rake db:create (in /Users/*********/*********) rake aborted! uninitialized constant Rake::DSL

any ideas appreciated.

This is a known issue with Rake 0.9.0. See: stackoverflow.com/questions/6085610/… — Jits

Use

gem "rake", "0.8.7"

In your gemfile, as stated rake 0.9.0 breaks a few things.
