I am moving my development from windows to ubuntu. i was rebuilding my  
db with rak db:schema:load and get the error of my table doesn’t  
exist. of course th table does not exist because i was trying to  
create through the rake task. i get the same exact error rake  
db:migrate.

i am having the same exact problem listed discussed here:
