first sorry for my poor english.I have a question about sqlite3-ruby on  
linux.  
I have compiled and installed the ruby 1.9.1, sqlite3 and sqlite3-ruby  
on  
redhat enterprise version.  
but when I use irb and import the sqlite3 module, it will throw the  
error,  
what’s the matter.

irb(main):001:0\> require ‘sqlite3’  
LoadError: libsqlite3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file  
or  
directory -  
/usr/ruby1.9.1/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1/lib/sqlite3/sqlite3\_native.so  
from  
/usr/ruby1.9.1/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in  
`require' from /usr/ruby1.9.1/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `rescue in \<top (required)\>’  
from  
/usr/ruby1.9.1/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.3.1/lib/sqlite3.rb:2:in  
`<top (required)>' from (irb):1:in `require’  
from (irb):1  
from /usr/ruby1.9.1/bin/irb:12:in `’

thanks

I hava solved this problem, use the fellow method:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/sqlite-3.3.5/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 libsqlite3.so.0
