Sqlite3-ruby gem installation is driving me crazy

Rails
1

I installed Rails 1.8.6 on a Panther system. Everything is ok but I
can’t install sqlite3-ruby gem. This is the terminal result:

$ sudo gem install --local sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1.gem
Building native extensions. This could take a while…
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1.gem:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/local/bin/ruby extconf.rb install --local sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1.gem
checking for sqlite3.h… yes
checking for sqlite3_open() in -lsqlite3… no

make
make: *** No rule to make target ruby.h', needed bysqlite3_api_wrap.o’. Stop.

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/
sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1/
ext/sqlite3_api/gem_make.out

I try to solve the problem today looking for something similar in
newsgroups but I did’t find anything useful. Any suggestions?

I solved the problem using this command line:
sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby – --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/
include --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib
the problem was that the sqlite3 was not installed in the default
locations.

Thanks again,

I see the problem with install gem sqlite3-ruby. This way help me to fix
it! Just install developer headers for provide compile the library from
sources.
SQLite3:

Without the -d option, rails will default to sqlite. To install SQLite3:

~$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev
~$ sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby
