For Windows XP, sqlite3-ruby 1.2.3 apparently was the last version which had a precompiled gem file available (hence the attempt by gem to compile a fresh one for version 1.2.4 or newer installations). The work-around is to install an older version which seems to work although it has its foibles. So to install the older version just type: C:\> gem install sqlite3-ruby -v=1.2.3 Satish Talim On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 10:17 AM, Francisco Colina wrote: > Hello I'm trying to install gem sqlite 3 and I'm getting this error: > > > > root@kundera-laptop:/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems# gem install sqlite3-ruby > --version 1.2.2 > Building native extensions.
