I confess I haven't been following this thread, so I don't know what
problems the OP was reporting. But I do know that I, myself (on
gentoo) have problems using rake to run tests on non-rails apps. They
seem to be related to the testrb script, but I haven't had time lately
to track it down.

The problem-child that comes to mind is my net-ssh project. Try
running "rake test_all". This used to work. It seems to do with testrb
not liking custom parameters being passed to the test script itself.
(I know I could work around this with environment variables, but like
I said, this *used* to work, and I haven't really had time to "fix"
it.)

It seems like there was at least one or two other issues I was running
into, but either I can't remember what they were, or they are already
fixed. :)
