Hi,

Recently I’ve been trying to add permalinks to my rails system, so  
because I had my new OS just installed I installed ruby and rails and  
all of the things I had before…  
Then I downloaded my application files directly from the web, and  
attempted to run the server; when I visit it in my browser it comes up  
with my custom error message, and the console displays this:

/!\ FAILSAFE /!\ Sun Jun 20 17:39:08 +0100 2010

I really don’t know what the problem is, and I can’t test my additions  
and edits…

Please Help,

Thanks In Advance,

From the message above, you are missing sqlite3. You might want to  
verify that each gem dependency is installed before you try to run  
your application.

Good luck,

When trying “gem install sqlite3-ruby”; it spits out “no definition  
for libversion”.

And when trying to “rake gems:install” it seems to think that  
everything is absolutely fine.

Please note although I dont think it’ll make a difference I get this  
on starting the application:

C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-2.3.2/lib/rails/gem\_dependency.rb:  
99:Warning: Gem::Dependency#version\_requirements is deprecated and  
will be removed on or after August 2010. Use #requirement

Please Help,

Thanks In Advance,

Seems others are having this issue on Windows as well.

Try here for some direction:
