Hi Hugh.  There are several factors interacting here.

(1) First, you probably don't have the Ruby ssl libraries installed. 
Perhaps Ruby did not detect the libraries when you installed.

(2) Rake 0.6.0 is a signed gem.  The current version of RubyGems requires
SSL when installing signed gems, even when it is not checking the
signatures.  This is obviously wrong.  The CVS RubyGems only requires SSL
when doing the actual check.

I have a unsigned version of Rake available on my betagems site that will
install with the current rubygems.  Use the following command:

   gem install rake --source http://onstepback.org/betagems

I hope this helps.
