Subject: Gem install sqlite3-ruby

Hi --

I'm trying to set up Rails with sqlite on a raw Debian box. Rails is 
fine, but I'm having problems with sqlite. Actually, sqlite is fine, but 
the sqlite3-ruby bindings are problematic. I /suspect/ that this box 
doesn't have some important development tools (I had to install gcc and 
make manually), but I don't know what else I'm missing...

Here's the output I'm getting now:

$ sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby
Attempting local installation of 'sqlite3-ruby'
Local gem file not found: sqlite3-ruby*.gem

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
