cannot build apache thrift due to ruby rake errors

I am trying to build thrift from source tarball (https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/thrift/0.9.0/thrift-0.9.0.tar.gz), but it fails with this error:

Making all in rb
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/akonsu/a/thrift-0.9.0/lib/rb'
/usr/local/bin/rake 
rake aborted!
cannot load such file -- rspec/core/rake_task

I would appreciate any help.

What also helps, if you are not interested in Ruby in the first place, is configure Thrift to do without.

$ ./configure --without-ruby

So that is --without-ruby, and NOT --without-rb as some other sources suggest.

and then run make and sudo make install.

It is a known bug apparently. I found this here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1367

(I am on on Mac OS X 10.7.5, BTW. I don't know about any other versions/platforms...)
