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

Find your sqlite3 gemspec file. One example is /usr/local/share/gem/specifications/sqlite3-1.3.7.gemspec

Windows: C:\Ruby21\lib\ruby\gems\2.1.0\specifications.

You should adjust according with your Rubygem path and sqlite3 version. Edit the file above and look for the following line

s.require_paths=["lib"]

change it to

s.require_paths= ["lib/sqlite3_native"]

Answer 2

gem uninstall sqlite3 --all
ridk exec pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-sqlite3
gem inst sqlite3 --platform ruby

This solved the problem to me.

Windows 10
Ruby 2.5.3
Rails 5.2.2

Answer 3

This happened to me as well. It turned out that I had originally installed SQLite 1.3.10, but then I copied some gems from the Rails tutorial screencasts project and it listed SQLite 1.3.9. Then I got the same error you did. I changed it back to 1.3.10 and it worked.

(This is on Windows 7. I was running the screencast tutorial on Cloud9 IDE).

Answer 4

Uninstalling and reinstalling the sqlite3 gem worked for me.

gem uninstall sqlite3

bundle

Answer 5

No compiling of the sources or downloading pre-compiled libraries will solve this problem, believe me I tried everything, the problem lies somewhere else. This is how it works on windows:

bundle update sqlite3

You likely get another similar error after this one regarding nokogiri, fix it with the command:

bundle update nokogiri

Enjoy your Ruby App!

Answer 6

i found it! i saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsrzvX0qzmA
i instaled: Rails version: 5.2.1 Ruby version: 2.5.3 (x64-mingw32) Sqlite version 1.3.13
and i have your problem... my solution:

1. In your installing folder like C:\Ruby25-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.5.0\gems\
   you have folders: "sqlite3-1.3.13" "sqlite3-1.3.13-x64-mingw32"
2. Find file
   C:\Ruby25-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.5.0\gems\sqlite3-1.3.13\lib\sqlite3\sqlite3_native.so
3. Copy it in C:\Ruby25-x64\lib\ruby\gems\2.5.0\gems\sqlite3-1.3.13-x64-mingw32\lib\sqlite3\2.5\sqlite3_native.so (may be folders not exist - create and paste)
