RoR: Error when doing rake command db:create => rake aborted! no such file to load -- initializer

I just installed a fresh new version of Ubuntu 10.04 and wanted to get my rails projects working. I checked out a rails project 2.3.3 and fill in the databasye.yml file with the typical sqlite-settings:

# SQLite version 3.x
#   gem install sqlite3-ruby (not necessary on OS X Leopard)
development:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/pictrs_development.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 500开发者_Python百科0

# Warning: The database defined as "test" will be erased and
# re-generated from your development database when you run "rake".
# Do not set this db to the same as development or production.
test:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/pictrs_test.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

production:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/pictrs_production.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

When I run:

rake db:create

I get the following error:

helex@mg:~/Downloads/pictrs_on_rails$ rake db:migrate
(in /home/helex/Downloads/pictrs_on_rails)
rake aborted!
no such file to load -- initializer
/home/helex/Downloads/pictrs_on_rails/Rakefile:4:in `require'
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

The output of rake db:create --trace is:

rake seems to have problems with loading the following line of the Rakefile:

require(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__), 'config', 'boot'))

I set up the same project under ubuntu 9.10 and I got error-messages when doing a rake task which told me to install specific gems for the project and so this was easy to fix. I create other fresh projects and they all worked. Actually I don't know where to look for the error. I used different rubygems versions and tryed various things out of my google-search.

Here my gem-list:

I have installed, in my opinio all needed gems. Can you just give some new things to think about how to fix this issue?

Thanks a lot for your time.

You have Rails 3.0 installed, but you're trying to run a Rails 2.3.3 project. Try installing a Rails version that matches your project and you'll probably be fine.
