Hi Jamis,

 an addition:

 After activating gcc-3.4.1 be hand, sqlite-ruby 1.3.0 does compile
 and install fine.

 So the remaining question is: What source of knowledge does the
 install process of sqlite-ruby use to figure out that there is a
 gcc-3.4.1 "somewhere in the deep of the system" installed and hidden
 from the world (ok,ok, I am definetly /NOT/ Shakespeare ;O))) and to
 choose the OPTIONS for that compiler but then call gcc-3.3.4 -- and
 fail. 

 Interesting...

 Two other things:
 Do you think it would be possible to have an install process which is
 separated from the configure/compile process for sqlite-ruby? I think
 it is a good idea to do as less as possible as root in general.

 When I searched for reasons of the gcc-mystique I encountered on my
 system :) I found that sqlite itsself can generate HTML-output.
 Is it possible to get such an output via sqlite-ruby?

 Ruby.use!
 Meino
