Hi,

I’ve tried installing yaml\_db on a winxp machine.  
installation seemed fine: ruby script\plugin install  
git://github.com/adamwiggins/yaml\_db.git - was ok  
but when i am trying to run

rake db:dump

i am getting:

------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----  
C:\ruby\ab\_proj\dprdb\090109a\>rake db:dump  
(in C:/ruby/ab\_proj/dprdb/090109a)  
rake aborted!  
Don’t know how to build task ‘db:dump’

(See full trace by running task with --trace)  
------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----------8\<----

appreciate any help or advice…
