Subject: sqlite3-ruby installation

I'm very much struggling to get a ruby interface sqlite3.

When trying to install the sqlite3-ruby gem, I keep running into errors. 
I do have sqlite3 installed (I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 Linux). I'm not 
sure where it is, but Adept says its installed.

Here's output from my sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby attempt:

Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install sqlite3-ruby
checking for sqlite3.h... no

make
make: *** No rule to make target `ruby.h', needed by 
`sqlite3_api_wrap.o'.  Stop.


Gem files will remain installed in 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1 for inspection.
Results logged to 
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1/ext/sqlite3_api/gem_make.out

I would very much appreciate someone's telling me what the problems is - 
and what I need to do.

Thank you.
