Gem not found...or is it something else?

Ruby
1

I’m just beginning to use gem sqlite3-ruby - at the very beginning.
I can’t even get past the ‘require’. I’ve verified that the gem IS
installed. I also have sqlite3 installed (on my Kubunti 7.10 - but I
don’t exactly know where it is).

Launching my little test program…

$ ruby sqlite-demo.rb
sqlite-demo.rb:13:in require': no such file to load -- sqlite3 (LoadError) from sqlite-demo.rb:13:inmain’
from sqlite-demo.rb:80

But ‘require sqlite3’ (quoting my little program) is right out of the
documentation. What gives? What ignorant thing am I doing here to get
this error?

Thanks in advance for any help.

since it’s a gem you need to ‘require “rubygems”’ first.
