I’ve successfully installed sqlite3-ruby on cygwin (can run a simple  
database fetch), but the activerecord test suite fails. I’m running it  
as described in the RUNNING\_UNIT\_TESTS doc:

$ ~/gems/activerecord-1.13.1  
$ rake test\_sqlite3  
(in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.1)  
/usr/bin/ruby -Ilib:test:test/connections/native\_sqlite3  
“/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8  
/gems/rake-0.6.2/lib/rake/rake\_test\_loader.rb”  
“test/aaa\_create\_tables\_test.rb”  
“test/adapter\_test.rb” … “test/transactions\_test.rb”  
“test/unconnected\_test.rb” “test/validations\_test.rb”

…/test/…/lib/active\_record/base.rb:244: undefined method  
`cattr_accessor' for ActiveRecord::Base:Class (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:21:in`require’

rake aborted!  
Command failed with status (1): [/usr/bin/ruby  
-Ilib:test:test/connections/…]

I also noticed that among the targets, there is build/drop tables for  
mysql/postgresql, but not sqlite. Can it be related to the above  
problem?

Cheers,
