Body
This is a follow-up to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43778/sqlite3-ruby-gem-failed-to-build-gem-native-extension">this question</a>. When I issue the <code>gem update</code> command on Windows, whenever it gets to a gem whose latest version DOESN'T have Windows binaries, it'll attempt to build the native extension which will, of course, fail. For example: <pre><code>Updating sqlite3-ruby Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError) ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb update checking for fdatasync() in rt.lib... no checking for sqlite3.h... no nmake 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. </code></pre> The old pre-1.x behavior of asking for the required platform at least made updating possible. Now I can't update at all unless I uninstall the troublesome gems (currently sqlite3-ruby and hpricot), run the update, then re-install the gems using the --version switch. Does anyone have a solution to this conundrum or are we stuck with it? <hr> Note: <pre><code>$ gem -v 1.2.0 $ ruby -v ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32] </code></pre> <hr> Note (26 September 2008): I just updated to gems 1.3.0 and this problem persists. Note (18 November 2008): Just updated to gems 1.3.1 and the problem persists. Note (28 April 2009): The latest version of Gems (<a href="http://blog.segment7.net/articles/2009/04/15/rubygems-1-3-2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">1.3.2</a>) now skips any gems where building of native extensions fails during update; in other words, the problem is fixed. Hooray!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
