Installing sqlite3 (1.3.4) wit

Answer 1

I had the same issue but in Windows. I found only two solutions for now 1* After the project creation fail, enter in its folder and modify the Gemfile. Change the line
gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.11' by one of these bellow:

gem 'sqlite3', git: "https://github.com/sparklemotion/sqlite3-ruby"

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

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

And run again the bundle install command for this project

The second solution I found was downloading the gem from https://rubygems.org/ and saving it locally to install from file, first, you've to install mingw (but only for Windows)

C:\Sites>ridk exec pacman -S mingw-w64-x86_64-dlfcn
C:\Sites>gem install --local C:\sqlite3-1.4.0.gem

I've tried some others solutions but these two were the only ones worked for me.

Answer 2

Make sure you have the development headers for SQLite3 installed.

For example:

On Ubuntu, you can use apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

On Mac with homebrew installed: brew install sqlite.

Answer 3

I've found it pretty helpful to run this command whenever I install rails anew on Ubuntu. This normally takes care of the super common zlib and sqlite3 errors.

/usr/bin/apt-get install build-essential bison openssl libreadline6 libreadline6-dev curl git-core zlib1g zlib1g-dev libssl-dev libyaml-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev sqlite3 libxml2-dev libxslt-dev autoconf libc6-dev ncurses-dev
