Can't install sqlite3-ruby gem on Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

Rails

I have a fresh installation of Leopard on my laptop. When I ran “sudo
gem update --system” it seemed to wipe out all of my gems. Weird. I
was able to reinstall with “sudo gem install rails --include-
dependencies” but I can’t get the sqlite3-ruby gem to install.

This is what I get:

bash-3.2$ sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby

  5. Skip this gem
  6. Cancel installation

I have Xcode tools installed and everything. How can I get this
working? I need to get this working as soon as I can.

Thanks.

Hi partydrone:

Download sqlite3 source code, extract, configure with prefix /usr/local,
make and make install.

Then run this line to set the architecture flags to your specific CPU
and install sqlite3-ruby:

Intel:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install sqlite3-ruby

PPC:
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch ppc" gem install sqlite3-ruby

From the list, select the newest for ruby, that would be #2.

Good luck.
