MissingSourceFile: no such file to load -- sqlite3/database

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

I'm using active_record and sqlite3-ruby (gem) modules. When I try to connect to sqlite3 database, I get a error :

"MissingSourceFile: no such file to load -- sqlite3/database"

I have "sqlite3/database.rb" in my $: path as shown below.

Does anyone know what this means or what causes it ?

My environment is :

- ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-08 patchlevel 71) [i686-linux]
- gem 1.2.0

[gems]
- activerecord (2.1.0)
- activesupport (2.1.0)
- sqlite3-ruby (1.2.2)

Thanks in advance for any help.

Below are shown the steps of how this error occurs and some information about database and RUBYLIB.

Try the advice given here:

    http://wuhai.wordpress.com/2008/07/06/no-such-file-to-load---sqlite3database/

It would be REALLY nice if the maintainers would release 1.2.3 with a fix.

Are you sure you've read access on the file?

"Sorry, no posts matched your criteria."

True. Or anything, really -- this is damned sloppy.

I'm seriously considering Amalgalite (spelling?), just because it seems
actively maintained.

Short answer: The permissions on that file are wrong. They're wrong in the
gem. You'll have to fix them manually.

About the changes on "ruby.h", they already there under ruby 1.8.7.

But, shame on me, I have not realized the missing 'r' permission for 'others':

--- snip ---
-rw-rw--w- 1 root root 24774 2008-08-26 18:54 database.rb
--- snip ---

Changing this permission as suggested in the link, have solved the problem :slight_smile:

It would be REALLY nice if the maintainers would release 1.2.3 with a fix.

Thanks for the help/time, Jos !

João Macaíba.

I haven't had:

--- snip ---
-rw-rw--w- 1 root root 24774 2008-08-26 18:54 database.rb
--- snip ---

I've corrected that :slight_smile:

Good news:

1.2.3 was just released!

Hey, it worked right before I posted it. :slight_smile:

Glad to hear 1.2.3 has been released.

Welcome. But 1.2.3 doesn't run out of the box either, at least on CentOS 5 with
the stock Ruby 1.8.5.

/usr/bin/ruby: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.3/lib/sqlite3_api.so:
undefined symbol: RSTRING_PTR

$ nm sqlite3_api.so | grep RSTRING
         U RSTRING_LEN
         U RSTRING_PTR

http://github.com/jamis/sqlite3-ruby/commit/b3bdabfd82b2abca0898bca3ee690e5987744cd2
says it fixes linking against Ruby 1.8.5 but the sqlite3_api_wrap.c generated
by swig (from extconf.rb) defines the necessary RSTRING_* macros too late in
the generated code. Moving the defines up in the generated file works around
the problem, but I'm not sure what the right fix is as the defines already sit
at the top of the sqlite3_api.i file.

Seems to be fixed -- or at least, not broken. Thanks!

Not sure how I came up with this but it's incorrect. Regenerating the
sqlite3_api_wrap.c file (as extconf.rb does, using `swig -ruby sqlite3_api.i')
fixes the issue. 1.2.4 has the regenerated sqlite3_api_wrap.c.

Thanks again Jamis.
