Question

I am new to RoR and when I go try the rails server command I get this strange error message:

it looks like the sqlite3 ruby gem is having some trouble.

first, make sure you have the libsqlite3 development package installed.

On a debian derivitive, this would look like

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

then, install the gem

gem install sqlite3

on a normal rails setup, bundler should be setup via Gemfile to install all the required gems for you.

bundle install

hey, I thought this would get me somewhere but even after successfully installing sqlite3 I still get the same error message /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.8/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)

Install the gem sqlite in your application and then try again.

Reinstall the rails . Are you having two different version of ruby?

please update latest Ruby-gems using

gem update

I would recommend you to reinstall the rails using the below command,

 gem install rails
