cannot load such file — sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError) on ruby on rails

Question

When I try to setup basic installation and initiation of server using Rails 4.0.0 on Ruby 2.0.0, I\'m facing the following error message.

/usr/local/lib/ruby         


        

Answer 1

I had the same error when I upgrade my Ruby version to 2.5.X. I tracked with rails task --trace that the sqlite3 is not available to version 2.5, than I change my GemFile the gem "sqlite3" change to "sqlite3-ruby", after I uninstall the gem "sqlite3" and finally I run the bundle install.

I don't know what is the reason... I read that "sqlite3" is not available for ruby 2.5 yet, but I'm not sure.

Answer 2

Updated

Adding the below to the Gemfile fixed for me: gem 'sqlite3', '1.4.0', platforms: :ruby

Answer 3

If the top answer doesn't work, a fix that I discovered is simply going to your Gemfile and adding the version number 1.3.11 (instead of 1.3.9) right after sqlite3. So the line in your Gemfile should now read:

# Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record
gem 'sqlite3',  '1.3.11'

Answer 4

Change your sqlite3 gem in the Gemfile for this:

gem 'sqlite3', git: "https://github.com/larskanis/sqlite3-ruby", branch: "add-gemspec"

Then run:

bundle install

Answer 5

Just edit Gemfile and add gem 'sqlite3', platform: :ruby.
