I had this problem.The solution is to downgrade rubygems to a version you support.
I needed version 1.3.5 (for rails 2.3.5)
So you need to do:
gem install rubygems-update -v 1.3.5
update_rubygems --version=1.3.5
And now rake should work.
I think you should update the RubyGems version.
Try gem install rubygems-update
.
