Hi,

I am having issues with installing the backgroundrb plugin. I am using  
cygwin on WinXP. I downloaded the backgroundrb using the following cmd

cd ~/  
rails myapp  
cd myapp  
svn co [http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1](http://svn.devjavu.com/backgroundrb/tags/release-0.2.1)  
backgroundrb

Now when i type ‘rake background:setup’, I get the following error

$ rake background:setup  
(in /cygdrive/d/Profiles/localuser/start)  
rake aborted!  
Don’t know how to build task ‘background:setup’

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,  
Rajmohan
