Subject: Beginner help: Problem installing sqlite3 on Windows XP

Hi Everyone,

I am new to Ruby, and i keep getting stuck in the same place getting
started.

I hope someone is able to help me. I am trying to install sqlite3 and
have been following several tutorials, and it all looke very simple, but
i keep running in to this problem.

I have installed ruby and gem.

C:\>ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]

C:\>gem --version
1.2.0

I have placed sqlite3.dll, sqlite3.def, sqlite3.exe in my c:\ruby\bin

I keep getting the following error:


---------
C:\>gem install sqlite3-ruby
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing sqlite3-ruby:
        ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

c:/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install sqlite3-ruby
checking for fdatasync() in rt.lib... no
checking for sqlite3.h... no

nmake
'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


Gem files will remain installed in
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1
.2.4 for inspection.
Results logged to
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.4/ext/sqlite3_
api/gem_make.out

--------


Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Kind regards,

Kasper
