I know that it needs rubygems sqlite3 to run

so i rubygems installed.

however, fxri in “require ‘rubygems’” , type the following error.

require ‘rubygems’  
=\> false

this code,the same error occurs.

require ‘sqlite3’

db = SQLite3::Database.new( “test.db” )  
columns, \*rows = db.execute2( “select \* from test” )

an error in the code,
