OK, so someone has figured out that Merb is breaking Rails 2.2.2.  
There is a gem called do\_sqlite3 which is in conflict with rails. But  
when I try to do an uninstall, rubygems says that the gem isn’t there  
but when I do gem list I can see it.  
How do I get rid of it?

I haven’t ready anything about that on the Rails or Merb mailing lists.  
Have  
a reference?

What command did you use? What error message do you receive?
