sqlite3-ruby install error on Ubuntu
You need the SQLite3 development headers for the gem’s native extension to compile against. You can install them by running (possibly with sudo
):
apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
You just need a --
in there.
sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-include=/usr/include
That specifies that the option is not to gem directly, but the specific gem.
In my case I have no basic compilers installed, so
sudo apt-get install build-essential
solved my problem, but for most the people I think https://stackoverflow.com/a/3649005/417267 is the solution.
