Rspec/Rake path problem - load error

I am using the treehouse vm, ruby 2.1.0x64, rails 4.2.0, rspec & rspec-rails 3.1.0 & rake 10.4.2. I am doing the odot project, and trying to code a test script. When I run bundle exec rake db:migrate --trace, I receive this error msg:

C:\Users\AnnieD\treehouse\odot (master)
λ bundle exec rake db:migrate --trace

I believe I have a path problem because rspec installs itself in the directory rspec-3.1.0, not respec. In addition, rake is installed with rspec-rails.

I have changed the file 'rspec.rake' to include this path rather than rspec:

rake-10.4.2/test/test_rake_task

Also changed 'rspec-rails.rb': rspec-rails-3.1.0/lib/rspec/rails/tasks/rspec.rake

My question is: Can I add or change a 'require' statement in these files that will clear up all of these load errors.

Thanks.
