I am learning how to use ruby from the book, 'beginning ruby, novice to
pro...' The chapter on using ruby with sql requires that I install
sqlite3-ruby.
Using sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby, I got the following--
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

sqlite3.h is missing. Try 'port install sqlite3 +universal'
or 'yum install sqlite3-devel' and check your shared library search path
(the
location where your sqlite3 shared library is located).
*** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
Gem files will remain installed in /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-1.3.3
for inspection.

going into irb,

What went wrong?
*my pc is on ubuntu 11.04. I checked synaptic package manager and see
that sqlite3 is installed.

You need libsqlite3-dev, which will provide sqlite3.h.
I looked up and installed libsqlite3-dev in synaptic package manager.
Running irb...
require 'sqlite3'

so I tried--

Hello! The sqlite3-ruby gem has changed it's name to just sqlite3.
Rather than
installing `sqlite3-ruby`, you should install `sqlite3`. Please update
your
dependencies accordingly.
Unfortunately, you'll have to build the gem again, since gem and apt are separate package systems. Try this again:
gem install sqlite3
