Yes, when you install many gems, they get built natively, so you need
development libraries for that to work correctly.

Hi,

I’m using Suse10.3, with yast you can install the sqlite3 gem + yast
shall
automatic install all other libs you need.
No problem with Suse.

I’m not on Windows at the moment. I put the DLL into /WINDOWS/System32/
but just put the binary into C:\sqlite… and then added the location
of
the binary to the PATH variable through sysdm.cpl, could this be a
problem?

I was getting some annoying errors when running an app on the Windows
system (after putting the require ‘rubygems’ into the .rb files). Not a
rails app, but it was using ActiveRecord and sqlite.

In Windows, I could get into sqlite3 through the command line easily,
and
the sqlite add-on for Firefox worked fine.

I’m also having problems installing the sqlite3 gem on Windows. I
downloaded sqlite-3_6_14_2.zip and sqlitedll-3_6_14_2.zip from
SQLite Download Page and extracted them to
/WINDOWS/SYSTEM 32. But when I type gem install sqlite3-ruby in the
command line I get:
Building native extensions. This could take a while…

Thufir,

For Windows try:

Source:
Ruby Buzz Forum - Installing SQLite 3 on Windows

  1. Install SQLite3 for Windows by downloading the following 2 zip
    files and unzipping them into /WINDOWS/system32
    http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3_2_7.zip
    http://www.sqlite.org/sqlitedll-3_2_7.zip
    If those don’t work try the official download site
    herehttp://www.sqlite.org/download.html
  2. gem install sqlite3-ruby
  3. Select option 1 to get the latest win32 driver

Windowshttp://jroller.com/page/obie?entry=installing_sqlite_3_on_windows

Ask gem to install version 1.2.3 (since that one is available as a
prebuilt win32 gem)

Fred
