Sqlite3 on Ruby

[Francisco Colina]

Hello I'm trying to install gem sqlite 3 and I'm getting this error:



root@kundera-laptop:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems# gem install sqlite3-ruby
--version 1.2.2
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:

Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.2 for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.2/ext/sqlite3_api/gem_make.out

The make out file was not helpful at all so if anyone knows what is the
problem , what do I need to install I will highly appreciate it.

Which O/S are you using?

For Windows XP, sqlite3-ruby 1.2.3 apparently was the last version which had
a precompiled gem file available (hence the attempt by gem to compile a
fresh one for version 1.2.4 or newer installations). The work-around is to
install an older version which seems to work although it has its foibles. So
to install the older version just type:

C:\> gem install sqlite3-ruby -v=1.2.3

You need to install the sqlite development headers also. You could find
some information if you search the net for something like "ubuntu
install sqlite3" - you'll need to set up sqlite with the development
headers and then when you run the sqlite3 gem install, it will be able
to build native extensions.

Cheers,

Hi:

I had a similar error. The error went away when I installed
libsqlite3-dev on Linux (Ubuntu).via Synaptic.

Hope this helps.

Good day.
