IronRuby doesn't recognize 'rake' - I'm getting undefined method `rake' for main:Object, how to fix?

Question

Hi All,

Just installed IronRuby 1.1. I'm trying to take a look at rake and albacore. After installing ironruby, I am able to hit a command prompt by typing ir, and I am able to do simple puts, but when I try to run rake, I get the error

undefined method `rake' for main:Object

How do I resolve this? Any ideas?

Thanks,

rake is an executable Ruby script that you call from the Windows command line, not a Ruby method that you call from IRb.
