sqlite3-ruby installation

[Tom Cloyd]

I'm very much struggling to get a ruby interface sqlite3.

When trying to install the sqlite3-ruby gem, I keep running into errors.
I do have sqlite3 installed (I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 Linux). I'm not
sure where it is, but Adept says its installed.

Here's output from my sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby attempt:

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

ruby extconf.rb install sqlite3-ruby
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
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1 for inspection.
Results logged to
/var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1/ext/sqlite3_api/gem_make.out

I would very much appreciate someone's telling me what the problems is -
and what I need to do.

Thank you.

Tom C.

you need to install the sqlite3 header files first. (package
'libsqlite3-dev')
