Don''t know how to build task ''migrate''

Hi,

I have a rather simple problem. Just installed Rails on OS X Leopard and
the database connection to MySQL doesn''t work from Rails.
I''m following Apples Expenses example
(http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html).
I''ve created the app with the command

   rails expenses -d mysql

I can connect to the database with a GUI tool, but Rails can''t
communicate with it.


When I run

  rake migrate

i get the error "Don''t know how to build task
''migrate''".

The I found a thread here on Ruby Forum
(http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/141986) which describes almost the same
problem and tried the command

   rake db:migrate --trace

which gives me this error:

-----------

Thank you.
Now I''ve learned to read the trace log or whatever the right name for
it
is.
