I'm a newbie too, so I'm a little worried about misdirecting you due to my own lack of knowledge, but I have run into this type of problem several times. In my case, it has always been due to the fact that rake looks for a different database than the one I want the extension to be installed into. For example, rake seems to look for the development database by default, whereas my setup uses the production database. So, when I run rake, I have to specify that it use the production database.
I see in your error listing, right near the top, that it says "SQLite3::SQLException: no such table:". This seems to suggest, to me anyway, that rake is looking for a table that does not exist. Is it possible that you are having the same issue that has happened to me, i.e. that you are running in production mode and rake is looking for the development database? If that is the case, here's what I do. I just specify "production" on the command line (there seem to be several ways to do this): rake production radiant:extensions:tags:install You can also use this type of syntax: rake migrate RAILS_ENV=production ... I hope I have not completely misunderstood the situation. As I said, I'm a newbie also.
