Am a RoR newbie here but have a lot of technical troubleshooting  
experience and searched here and google and cannot get around this  
problem.

gem install sqlite3-ruby -v 1.2.3 or gem install sqlite3-ruby -v  
1.2.5

…

No definition for \_wrap\_sqlite3\_result\_text

No definition for \_wrap\_sqlite3\_result\_text16

No definition for \_wrap\_sqlite3\_result\_text16le

No definition for \_wrap\_sqlite3\_result\_text16be

No definition for \_wrap\_sqlite3\_result\_value

No definition for \_wrap\_sqlite3\_aggregate\_context

and ultimately cannot goto [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)  
also script/server and rake db:migrate work fine

I am getting the same problem. I’m wondering if it’s a version problem?  
I’m using Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 2.3.5, and Sqlite3 3.6.23. Is one of these  
versions not written to talk to the others?

Well, apparently these error messages can simply be ignored. (See  
[http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/database-support/sqlite](http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/database-support/sqlite)). Sure enough, my  
database seems to be running fine.

Irritating and embarrassing I spent so much time trying to solve this  
“problem.”
