Huh... I don't get that error at all! I get something much much better:

10020 % GEM_HOME=xxx GEM_PATH=xxx rake19 install -t
(in /Users/ryan/roles_mongoid-0.4.5)

Which is about seven levels of awesome in my book!

In your case... can you do the following for me?

% gem spec pkg/roles_mongoid-0.4.5.gem | grep PrivateType

and if that doesn't match at all try this:

% rm -rf ~/.gem/specs/*

But really at this point I'm just guessing.
