I am trying to run the command rake db:migrate but the terminal is complaining about a possible syntax error in the file ruby_executable_hooks. I found this reference but did not help me to solve the problem. On the first line of the file it looks like title = "ruby #{ARGV*" "}" is causing the problem as the double quotes are not escaped correctly. I have tried different combinations of escaping but still no luck. So now I am not sure if the problem is really related to escaping issues or something else. Many thanks
Please see bellow the ruby_executable_hooks file
title = "ruby #{ARGV*" "}"
$0 = ARGV.shift
Process.setproctitle(title) if Process.methods.include?(:setproctitle)
require 'rubygems'
begin
require 'executable-hooks/hooks'
Gem::ExecutableHooks.run($0)
rescue LoadError
warn "unable to load executable-hooks/hooks" if ENV.key?
('ExecutableHooks_DEBUG')
end
eval File.read($0), binding, $0
Error message:

Found the solution for this problem
1 - delete the rake version from your system
2 - bundle install rake
3 - rake db:drop:all
4 - rake db:create:all
5 - rake db:migrate
For some reason when I first used the command rake db:migrate it corrupted the ruby_executable_hooks file (no idea why). Hope this will help somebody.
