Hi all,

I am trying to get a goldberg site installed and am getting the above  
error. I have left messages at [240gl.org](http://240gl.org) and at [pluginaweek.org](http://pluginaweek.org) but  
have not received any answer.

This situation is this. goldberg 0.2.0 is packaged as a gem and now  
depends upon pluginaweek’s plugin\_migrations gem, which in turn depends  
on loaded\_plugins. I have used gem install plugins\_plus  
–include-dependencies to install these but when I follow the  
instructions to install goldberg i usually get the above error. I say  
usually because on two occasions the install succeeded.

The process I followed is this:

create database (postgresql)

$ rails --database=postgresql newproject  
$ cd newproject  
$ script/generate goldberg  
$ modify config/database.yml  
$rake goldberg:install

# BANG! == InitialSetup: migrating

rake aborted!  
Don’t know how to build task ‘db:migrate:plugins’

Now, I cannot see any rake task that goes by this name so I have to ask,  
is there a step I am missing when I install plugins\_plus? How does  
plugins\_plus update the rake task list. Do I need to perform or run  
some sort of initialization task after installing the pluginaweek  
plugins\_plus gem? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
