Maybe it is not necessary to have admin rights. I did this on a machine that I did not have admin rights. Basically I compiled sqlite3 after changing prefix to point to a directory of my choice. Second I installed ruby and ruby gems in my local directory, instead of system-wide location. I don't remember the exact steps, but once the above two steps are done, you have a lot of control on where the gems compile and so on and it should be possible to get the sqlite3-ruby compiled in your own directory. hope this helps, saji -- Saji N.
