Welcome. But 1.2.3 doesn't run out of the box either, at least on CentOS 5 with
the stock Ruby 1.8.5.

/usr/bin/ruby: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.3/lib/sqlite3_api.so: 
undefined symbol: RSTRING_PTR

$ nm sqlite3_api.so | grep RSTRING
         U RSTRING_LEN
         U RSTRING_PTR

http://github.com/jamis/sqlite3-ruby/commit/b3bdabfd82b2abca0898bca3ee690e5987744cd2
says it fixes linking against Ruby 1.8.5 but the sqlite3_api_wrap.c generated
by swig (from extconf.rb) defines the necessary RSTRING_* macros too late in
the generated code. Moving the defines up in the generated file works around
the problem, but I'm not sure what the right fix is as the defines already sit
at the top of the sqlite3_api.i file.
