“command not found” sounds like a pretty obvious clue :slight_smile:

Besides that, have you looked at the file mentioned above to see if
there’s any other useful information there?

Are you logged in as root?
Otherwise try “sudo gem install sqlite3”.
(Maybe you are not allowed to call “make” as a normal user, I can’t
imagine
that a system does ship without “make”).

Yes, I’m logged in as root.
I’m using debian lenny…

OBVIOUS! THANKS!!!
$ apt-get install build-essential
