Cannot create test database in rails 3.2 with postgres

Question

This is an extremely strange one. Im trying to do a simple rake db:test:clone or create and no matter what I do, from clearing the gemset to trying all sorts of database.yml configs, Im getting the oddest error:

LINE 1: CREATE DATABASE "tdt_test"0.0

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? WTF is that "0.0!?" Im running Rails 3.2, RSpec and pg gem 0.14.1

Answer 1

This is a specific situation BUT it might help others.

Turns out the darn classifer gem is OVER WRITING the Array.sum method. Once I removed that, all was well.
