I alread tried the answers posted on this website regarding this issue. But nothing worked

I have the following setup:

rvm 1.6.32 by Wayne E. Seguin (wayneeseguin@gmail.com) [https://rvm.beginrescueend.com/]

Rails 3.0.7

ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [i686-linux]

On running:

$rake db:migrate --trace

I get the following error

Error with trace

'bundle exec rake db:migrate' was working for me in a similar situation, but it didn't seem "right".

I found 'rvm implode' to be the cleanest method for myself (though likely overkill). My problems arose sometime after upgrading to OS X Lion, when some gems no longer appeared to be installed.

rvm implode. reinstall rvm. install ruby. install rails. bundle install.

rake db:migrate worked again without prefacing it with bundle exec.

side note: I'd be curious to know more about what actually is going on here. I presume its a conflict with different versions of the same gem being installed? But I couldn't find any detailed logging that pointed towards a specific direction.
