Problem configuring database with rubyonrails

Rails
1

Hi,

I was trying to configure sqlite3 as a backend to work with
rubyonrails.

First i did yum install sqlite and got the package installed.
Then i did .I got an error message:

Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing sqlite:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install sqlite
can’t find header files for ruby.

Gem files will remain installed in
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-2.0.1
for inspection.
Results logged to
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-2.0.1/ext/gem_make.out

Then i did and got an error message:

WARNING: Installing to ~/.gem since /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 and
/usr/bin aren’t both writable.
WARNING: You don’t have /home/yevlempy/.gem/ruby/1.8/bin in your PATH,

/home/yevlempy/.gem/ruby/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.5/ext/sqlite3_api/gem_make.out.

I am new to rubyonrails if anyone can help.I use fedora as linux distro.

Thanks,

That is the right gem. You need to install the package that has the
ruby development headers. Often called something like ruby-dev or ruby-
devel (probably also for sqlite3)
