[gentoo-user] Ruby Rails and Rake - strange error on Gentoo...

[Steve [Gentoo]]

I've recently started playing around with Ruby and rails under Gentoo.  
I've installed everything using emerge as opposed to the using ruby gems.

While I seem to be able to use my rails application, I get a puzzling 
error message when I try to verify it using the default generated 
rakefile and rake:

--
$ rails myapp
$ cd myapp
$ rake
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rake.rb:658:in `private': undefined method 
`have_opt
ion?' for class `Object' (NameError)
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rake.rb:658
        from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rake.rb:657
        from /usr/bin/rake:3
--

I would not expect this error message. I get the same error message if 
I've introduced controllers and views (as suggested in the tutorials) 
before running make.  I've asked on both the ruby and rails mailing 
lists without any suggestions arising... it seems this might be peculiar 
to Gentoo.  Do other users (more familiar than I am with Ruby, rails and 
rake)  have the same problems?  Is this a problem with my generated 
application, Rails - or (as the error message suggests) an error in the 
implementation of rake?
