I've had trouble finding a good cucumber tutorial that isn't out of date. In fact I haven't found one, so I worked through the first half of the
Railscast #155 which is an outdated Cucumber Tutorial, which if you can get over the outdated part is very well done. I would love it if someone posted an updated cucumber tutorial.
Below I've listed the substitutions necessary to follow the first half of the screen-cast.
So follow the on screen instructions unless I have a substitution listed, and these substitutions should allow you to finish the first half.

instead of setting up our test gems in test.rb
add this to Gemfile instead
group :test do
gem 'rspec', ">=1.2.2"
gem 'rspec-rails', ">=1.2.2"
gem 'capybara' # replaced webrat
gem 'cucumber-rails' #replaced cucumber
gem 'cucumber-rails-training-wheels' #is needed to generate web_steps.rb
#web_steps.rb replaced webrat_steps.rb
gem 'database_cleaner' # I don't know why you need this one but I had an error that told me I needed it so I added it.
end
sudo rake gems:install RAILS_ENV=test bundle install
script/generate cucumber rails generate cucumber:install
#as well as the line below to generate web_steps.rb
rails generate cucumber_rails_training_wheels:install
rails generate rspec:install #I don't know if you need
cucumber
features -n #including the -n results in an error, including features isn't necessary as features is the default location.
script/generate rspec_model article title:string content:text
rails generate model article title:string content:text
in the routes file with rails >3.0 you don't need map
map.resources :articles
I think this should get you through the first half of the tutorial, The second half I'm still working on... ...if I I ever finish I'll be sure to post them up.
