"...it's because of Rake 0.8.1 which breaks Rote.
I work around that this way :
so when I really have to run a Rote task (for generating a website), I do :
rake _0.7.3_ doc or_whatevertasknamethatuses_rote
That forces rake to the 0.7.3 version that is OK.
Cheers,
John"
Another way would be to fix Rote :)
