How to solve an "uninitialized constant Cucumber" error?

Question

Hi!

I'm trying to get one open source application up and running.

But unfortunately I'm getting the following error:

rake aborted!
uninitialized constant Cucumber

I have already tried installing Cucumber with the following line. That dowloaded the ".\vendor\plugins\cucumber\" folder, but that error remains the same.

script/plugin install git://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber.git

Please find below the stack trace:

Don't install cucumber via script/plugin, but as gem.
