This looks like the do_sqlite3 gem depends on the "uname" command to
identify what type of system it's running on.
Unfortunately that doesn't work on Windows at all. Your best bet is to
either track down the person who created
that gem and see if he'll fix it, download the source and fix the gem
yourself, or do what Mark Bates suggested and
use one of the other supported databases. You could "fake it" by
creating a script or executable named 'uname' or
maybe even an alias, but if it takes actions based on the output
generated by uname it's quite likely it'll
contain other dependencies on Unix/Linux.
