Why if I write, #sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby , returned this error?

Select which gem to install for your platform (i486-linux)

1. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.0 (mswin32)
2. sqlite3-ruby 1.2.0 (ruby)
3. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (mswin32)
4. sqlite3-ruby 1.1.0 (ruby)
5. Skip this gem
6. Cancel installation

Hi,

What you have here is not a failure to install sqlite3-ruby  
(“Successfully installed sqlite3-ruby-1.2.0” indicates that the gem  
installed without problems). You should be able to use sqlite from  
ruby now.

What you do have is a failure to build the documentation for  
sqlite3-ruby. Somehow you don’t seem to have rdoc installed. What  
kind of system are you on? How did you install ruby?

Best,

Do you have an rdoc executable installed with your ruby install?
