I’ve tried from NetBeans to install sqlite gems, but I always got the same error message: JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full support. [http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby\_Builtin\_OpenSSL](http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby_Builtin_OpenSSL) Building native extensions. This could take a while… ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

I’m new with ruby so maybe it’s a stupid problem. Thanks to everyone ---

You will either need to install and use a native Ruby environment (how you do this depends on your OS), or select a different database backend - postgresql has a pure Ruby driver available, off the top of my head… Dan ---

Why i can’t use sqlite3-ruby gems? it gives me this error: c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site\_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom\_require.rb:27:in `gem\_original\_require’: no such file to load – sqlite3-ruby (LoadError) but i installed it! by the way, when it asks me wich version of gem I want to install: 1. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.2 (mswin32) 2. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.2 (ruby) 3. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.1 (mswin32) 4. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.1 (ruby) if I choose 1 or 3, it works but when I try to use them i get the error above, while if i choose 2 or 4, it gives me this error: > Building native extensions. This could take a while… > ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError) > ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. ruby extconf.rb install sqlite3-ruby --no-rdoc --no-ri –include-dependencies --version \> 0 Gem files will remain installed in c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.2 for inspection.

I don’t use Windows, so can’t offer more specific help. Take a trip over to [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org) and look for a Win32 Ruby there, then configure NetBeans to use it rather than the builtin JRuby. (Tools → Ruby Platforms, then set appropriate values in the dialog. Autodetect Platforms might work) Dan ---

From that first error message I would guess your require line is wrong. You will need require ‘sqlite3’ not require ‘sqlite3-ruby’ Hope that helps. – “Hey brother Christian with your high and mighty errand, Your actions speak so loud, I can’t hear a word you’re saying.” -Greg Graffin (Bad Religion) ---
