POsqlite3-ruby gem can't find sqlite3.h on ubuntu
text
Body
copied!<p>Trying to get Rails up on ubuntu, and I’m having trouble installing sqlite3-ruby – it apparently can’t find <code>sqlite3.h</code>. All the references I can find to the error suggest the problem is either: sqlite3 headers aren’t installed, or make can’t find them. It looks to me like I’ve solved both those issues and I’m still seeing the same problem.</p> <p>No real idea what’s going on here. Version mismatch, maybe? This is with ruby 1.8.7, sqlite 3.6.22-1, gem 1.3.5 and sqlite3-ruby 1.3.1 on ubuntu 10.04.1.</p> <pre><code>david@li88-188:~$ sudo apt-get install sqlite3 </code></pre> <p>[...successful installation...]</p> <pre><code>Setting up sqlite3 (3.6.22-1) ... david@li88-188:~$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev </code></pre> <p>[...successful installation...]</p> <pre><code>Setting up libsqlite3-dev (3.6.22-1) ... david@li88-188:~$ sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby Building native extensions.
