OS X - `require': no such file to load -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native

Rails

I’ve searched and search, tried a number of things like unstalling
sqlite3 and reinstalling. Reinstalling Rails, building sqlite3 from
source, etc. Nothing seems to work. When I try to start up my server I
get the following:
MacBook-Pro:splash Ross$ rails server

However, if I do this:
MacBook-Pro:splash Ross$ irb
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :001 > require ‘sqlite3’
=> true
ruby-1.9.2-p136 :002 >

What isn’t working? Security issue? path? This worked for months and
stopped working after I installed the curb and json gems.

Ideas?

Have you checked the architecture of the native extensions you use (you
can use the lipo command to examine which architectures a library is
built for)? If there is a mismatch there you could run into trouble

Where’s the native extension stored?

Some where inside the gem. gem which foo tells you where the files are
for the gem name foo

Yeah both are x86-64 so looks fine…
