Simply Rails 2 Problem - Installing SQLite Database Interface For Ruby
OK after initially not being able to get Rails installed after following the instructions in the book I came on this forum and asked for help, I was told to install Xcode (even though in the book it presumes you can bypass this step). That worked and I was able to install Rails and SQLite, however when I get to the stage where I need to intstall the "SQLite Database Interface for Ruby' it tell me to enter this command line
Code:
$ sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby
I do but instead of it installing I get presented with this error message
Code:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:

What's going wrong? It suggest in the book that this is a tiny module and an easy installation from a single command. Yet for me it doesn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
