Hi all,

platform: win32

I try to use rails with a sqlite3 backend, but I have got an error  
with rake db:migrate.  
It seems that can not find the Init\_sqlite3.

the sqlite3-ruby(win32) gem is installed in the gem repository.

If I use AR without Rails, I do not have problems, but if I want to  
use rails, “rake db:migrate” can not load Init\_sqlite3.

the sqlite3.dll is in vendor directory, and in the past I have never  
seen this bug ☹

Version:  
Rails =\> 1.2.3  
Ruby : 1.8.6  
sqlite3-ruby : 1.2.1 (win32)

RUBYOPT=-rubygems

Thanks
