Indeed, there is no such file...

vendor/generators, ls:

rspec_controller        rspec_model

Answer 1

For rails3

To get the list

$ rails generate 

To generate spec_helper.rb

$ rails g rspec:install

Answer 2

It seems to work for me. I have installed rspec-rails, runned the rspec generator and when I give

$ script/generate

I get the list of generators:

Installed Generators Rubygems: rspec, rspec_controller, rspec_model, rspec_scaffold Builtin: controller, integration_test, mailer, migration, model, observer, performance_test, plugin, resource, scaffold, session_migration

After generating the scaffold with rspec_scaffold the specs pass. Are the vendor/generators in your rails project ? I think you should delete them and use the generators from the gems instead.
