I cloned the project, then switched to that directory. When I run rake, I get the following:

rake aborted!
can't convert Hash into String

Tasks: TOP => default
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

I'm using rake 0.9.2 and ruby 1.9.2.p180. What am I doing wrong?

Could you run rake --trace and provide the stack trace info?

You bet! Here it is:

** Invoke default (first_time)
** Execute default

I think I may have seen this issue in the past if the symlinks the rake task are trying to create already exist. I believe there may be a bug in the code that is supposed to prompt to overwrite those. If you try to delete/rename these files/folders (.vimrc .gvimrc .vim ) and rake again I suspect that it may work. If that is the case we'll have to fix that bug.

Tried moving those files/folders (I only had .vimrc and .vim) and ran rake again. Same problem.
