Gem not found...or is it something else?

I'm just beginning to use gem sqlite3-ruby - at the very beginning.
I can't even get past the 'require'. I've verified that the gem IS installed. I also have sqlite3 installed (on my Kubunti 7.10 - but I don't exactly know where it is).

Launching my little test program....

$ ruby sqlite-demo.rb
sqlite-demo.rb:13:in `require': no such file to load -- sqlite3 (LoadError)
        from sqlite-demo.rb:13:in `main'
        from sqlite-demo.rb:80

But 'require sqlite3' (quoting my little program) is right out of the documentation. What gives? What ignorant thing am I doing here to get this error?

Thanks in advance for any help.

since it's a gem you need to 'require "rubygems"' first.
