My suspicion is it has to do with "-I/Users/joshcrews/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.8.7-p174/lib/ruby/1.8/i686-darwin9.8.0", because i686-darwin9.8.0 doesnt exist in that file

Answer 1

I got help at Railsconf from a (the?) sqlite3-ruby gem maintainer, Aaron Patterson

Options:

• Get on Snow Leopard
• Install sqlite3-ruby 1.2.5
• Install sqlite3 via macports first

Get on Snow Leopard

sqlite3-ruby >= 1.3.0 not tested for OSX 10.5. Snow Leopard should work

Install sqlite3-ruby 1.2.5

gem install sqlite3-ruby -v 1.2.5

Then set each Rails3 Gemfile to say this

gem 'sqlite3-ruby', '1.2.5', :require => 'sqlite3'

Install sqlite3 via macports first

sudo port install sqlite3
gem install sqlite3-ruby

Thank you, the version dependency helped me too. I was able to solve a similar situation on OS X 10.5 / Ruby 1.8.6 / Rails 2.3.8 with config.gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :version => '~>1.2.0', :lib => 'sqlite3' – Cia

As Bryce already mentioned: As alternative to MacPorts, you may want to use homebrew. brew install sqlite; gem install sqlite3-ruby solved it beautifully. – Lymphadenitis

"You must have the SQLite engine installed in order to build this module [sqlite3-ruby]." (rubygems.org/gems/sqlite3-ruby) Hence the sudo port install sqlite3, I guess. – Acidforming

In Rails 3, with a bundler Gemfile, @conny's line would look like gem 'sqlite3-ruby', '~> 1.2.0', :require => 'sqlite3' – Acidforming

Note that Rails 3.1 currently requires sqlite3 ~> 1.3.3 (github.com/rails/rails/blob/3-1-stable/Gemfile) – Acidforming

Answer 2

I'm not 100% sure what is causing the issue, but I got it working by installing sqlite3 via homebrew: http://github.com/mxcl/homebrew

After that, the gem installed just fine. Leopard's version of sqlite3 must not be compatible with the new version of sqlite3-ruby.

Answer 3

If you already have the sqlite3 macport or brew installed, and you still have the issue, you might have to specify build options when installing the gem.

Example:

gem install sqlite3 -v 1.3.5 -- --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/include --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib

If you're on homebrew, use /usr/local instead of /opt/local .

To configure bundler to remember the build options for sqlite3 (run "bundle help config" for more info):

bundle config build.sqlite3 --with-sqlite3-include=/opt/local/include --with-sqlite3-lib=/opt/local/lib

Answer 4

I have the same issue on Linux, and runs bellow two commands. Works perfectly.

sudo aptitude install sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev
sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby
