I wonder why
gem install sqlite3-ruby
will fail on a PC with Vista?
when i do a search on google for sqlite3-ruby, I see that 1.2.4 was
actually done in August 2008. So does that mean for 8 months (from
2008-08 to 2009-04), it was breaking all people using a PC?
turns out that it needs to be
gem install -v1.2.3 sqlite3-ruby
can’t it simply show a message saying you need 1.2.3 for a PC? or show a
selection list like on http://agilo.us/2009/03/15/rails-on-windows/ ?
that’s kind of weird…
this is the error message for “gem install sqlite3-ruby”:
