Hi,

Could you explain this more?  I have seen this error reported over and 
over throughout the internet but no concise explanation is to be found.

Suggestions are:

1) gem install sqlite3-ruby

but then I get this error:

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

/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install sqlite3-ruby
checking for fdatasync() in -lrt... yes
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 
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.4 for inspection.
Results logged to 
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.4/ext/sqlite3_api/gem_make.out

2) sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby

But unfortunately I don't have admin access to my dedicated server

The binary works correctly which is the most annoying part.  When I type 
'sqlite3' I get a prompt for playing with the database.  I also get the 
same "no such file to load -- sqlite3" when I run the first "db:create" 
after creating a demo app.

sqlite3 works with rails on my local windows PC.  I don't understand why 
it's so impossible on the linux box.

Thanks, David.
