I receive an error when I try to create or setup database using rake  
command. Rake is installed.

Error: bash: /opt/local/bin/rake: /opt/local/bin/ruby: bad  
interpreter: No such file or directory. Is it not in the path but how  
come I can to gem list show the gems?

Please help

Could you try uninstalling rake and installing it again and see if that  
helps?  
Others have had success doing that 🙂
