Ruby SQLite under cygwin

ruby-talk
1

Hello to the forum,

I have been trying to get sqlite3-ruby going under cygwin (XP 32-bit). I
have had ruby-cygwin installed for a while (ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08
patchlevel 358) [i386-cygwin]), and it seems to work fine from bash and
.rb scripts. There is no libsqlite3-ruby package in the cygwin package
manager, so looking at this post,
http://www.theeggeadventure.com/wikimedia/index.php/Sqlite_ruby_cygwin

I tried to instal it with gem,
gem install sqlite3-ruby

but I get an error,
-bash: gem: command not found

There seem to be a number of posts on this, but nothing definitive. Is
there a prescribed method to get this working?

Thanks for the advice,

I was able to get SQLite Ruby installed and working under cygwin using
the following method.

1. Install the following cygwin packages,
Ruby > ruby (1.8.7-p358-2)
Database > sqlite3
Database > libsqlite3_0
Database > libsqlite3-devel

2. download the ruby gems src from,
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1...ems-1.8.24.tgz
save the tar file anywhere in the cygwin tree (I used /home)

3. unzip and unpack the tar,
gzip -d rubygems-1.8.24.tgz
tar xvf rubygems-1.8.24.tar

4. cd to /rubygems-1.8.24 and run,
ruby setup.rb install

5. update gems, (this didn't do anything for me)
gem update --system

6. install sqlite3-ruby with gems,
gem install sqlite3-ruby

This appeared to work, but I need to do some additional testing.
