Bira,

Great advice! I checked all downloaded Rails apps and, indeed, rakefile
is in the application root directory. It must be that when Rails
creates an application, it copies rakefile into the application root.
For some reason, I lost the rakefile in my Rails application directory.
I put it back there, and, lo and behold ... it works!

Thanks for the help.
