I get lot of bug reports related to this issue, and I’ll like to explain that is not a bug in the software, but a bug in your setup.

Rake make you unhappy (at least on Windows)
I found1 that latest releases of Hoe, ParseTree, RubyInline and even RC2 of Merb depend on a updated version of Rake.
The problem is that version 0.8.3 is buggy on Windows from both user and developer point of view.
Until those patches are applied, you can install a patched version using RubyInstaller gem server (gems.rubyinstaller.org)
gem install rake --source http://gems.rubyinstaller.org
You should end with version 0.8.3.1 which will be enough for tools like DataMapper, Hoe and others work properly again.
Hope this helps.
Next: DataMapper working on Windows, wait for a bit.
1 consider this a rant, but I do my part: I show you my code.

GUAS: Giving Unwanted Advice Series #1
Hello everybody, I’ll like to start a new category of post on this site: GUAS.
The subtitle of these series will be how not to be dumbass while being cross-platform friendly.
With this series, I’ll like to bring what I’ve learned using a not so popular platform and how to properly interact with others, without being a dumbass, obtuse or something similar.

While talking with Manuel Aristarán last night, I explained to him the coolness factor of mod_tora, what could be the analog of mod_rails (Phusion Passenger) for Neko, but without the nasty fork()
