I’m having the same issue. I’m currently running on OS X. Whenever  
I try to run the ‘rake’ command I get the “Extensions” message and  
whenever I try to ‘bootstrap’ it errors out. Will someone please  
list a step-by-step of what is to be done from beginning to end? The  
instructions in the “Radiant Handbook” simply fail.

Thanks,  
Michael

Some more detail would help. If you’re going to reference another  
message, it would help if you replied to the same thread, and  
regardless you should post your error message - ‘the same issue’ often  
isn’t.

Have you created the database and configured your database.yml file  
correctly?

Oh, and if you’re just trying to setup the production database - try  
setting up the development database first - I had some issues  
where the test env wouldn’t work unless  
the development db was configured - perhaps the same issue is happening  
in production.
