Hi there,  
following the official instructions of installing the BackgrounDRb, i  
got to know, that have to load the plugin into my vendor/plugin folder  
–\> and than “rake backgroundrb:setup”.

Here is the fault:  
The rake command aborts pointing the message:

rake aborted!  
Don’t know how to build task ‘backgroundrb:setup’

–\> so i tried to rake it directly from the folder:  
cd backgroundrb  
rake

This is what I get:

/usr/bin/ruby1.8 -I"lib:lib"  
“/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader.rb”  
“test/test\_workers/test\_worker.rb” “test/test\_workers/cron\_worker.rb”  
“test/test\_helper.rb” “test/test\_backgroundrb.rb”  
./test/test\_workers/test\_worker.rb:1: uninitialized constant  
BackgrounDRb (NameError)  
from  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader.rb:5:in  
`load' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5 from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake_test_loader.rb:5:in`each’  
from  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rake-0.8.7/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader.rb:5  
rake aborted!  
Command failed with status (1): [/usr/bin/ruby1.8 -I"lib:lib"  
"/usr/lib/rub…]

Does it has something in common with a failure in the rake-app? Or is it  
only the fact backgrounDRb isn"t installed correctly?

Thx for your help

Hi …  
i am a step further.  
I recognized that in the root directory is displayed no option when i  
type “RAKE -T”.

In another project there are displayed all rake-options …

I don’t know in which way this projects is different from the other.  
Anyone an idea?

Thank you till now.
