i have virtual rails running on linux mint installed on laptop…im  
trying to run a rake command but keep getting the following errors:

virtualrails@jay ~/blog $ rake db:migrate  
(in /home/virtualrails/blog)  
rake aborted!  
no such file to load – sqlite3

(See full trace by running task with --trace)

virtualrails@jay ~/blog $ rake db:create  
(in /home/virtualrails/blog)  
rake aborted!
