Basic RSpec Error, 'no such file to load'. Help

[Prasanna Perera]

Hello,

I am new to working with RSpec
I get a 'no such file to load' error when I run 'rake spec'. The stack
trace is below. At the root of my rails app I did:

1) ruby script/plugin install
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/REL_1_1_3/rspec
2) ruby script/plugin install
http://rspec.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/REL_1_1_3/rspec_on_rails
3) ruby script/generate rspec
4) created category_spec.rb in spec/models with
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../spec_helper'

Please provide any help. I am following Foundation Rails 2 by Alameda.
thanks, Prasanna
