Did you ever get this kind of error?-- Could not find gem ‘sqlite3-  
ruby (\>= 0, runtime)’ in the gems available on this machine.

I am running rails 3 beta, and apparently ruby 1.8.7. I am using  
Ubuntu 10.04

Whenever I run any rails command, ie “rails s”, or “rails g”, I get  
that error. However, “rails new” works…

Does anyone know why? Thank you.

YAY! I fixed that bad boy

All i had to run was- sudo apt-get install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev  
Then I installed the gem. perfect
