What version of MacRuby do you run? Also, do you run a 32-bit Mac?

In my environment, 64-bit Intel mac running MacRuby trunk, I am able to install and require sequel.

$ /usr/local/bin/macruby -r rubygems -e "require 'sequel'; p 42"

As Eloy said, it is better to report MacRuby problems to our mailing-list or ticket trac instead. http://www.macruby.org/contact-us.html

Answer 2

MacRuby (like IronRuby) currently doesn't implement enough of the ruby language to work with Sequel. Sequel is tested on MRI (1.8 and 1.9), JRuby, and Rubinius, so you could try one of them.

Answer 3

Since MacRuby is still in heavy development, I think it would be better if you would ask this question on the MacRuby-devel mailinglist. The people that know how to get Sequel to work on MacRuby (I know people have done so) are there too.

Answer 4

I ran into similar issues and was able to get it working with the following combination:

MacRuby 0.8
sqlite3-ruby gem 1.3.2
sequel gem 3.18.0
OSX 10.6.5

The trick was uninstalling the 'sqlite3' gem and installing 'sqlite3-ruby'.
