RoR newbie server startup problem 1

[tommyc7]

I am brand new to RoR and just going through a tutorial. I had everything up and running, but somehow I managed to mess up my installation. I tried to reinstall, but that didn't work. I'm using using Mac 10.5, if that makes a difference.

Anyway, here's the error I am getting after I start the server and basically try to do anything:

/!\ FAILSAFE /!\  Fri Mar 27 21:51:43 -0400 2009
  Status: 500 Internal Server Error
  no such file to load -- sqlite3

There's more, but I figured that would give the gyst.

It sounds to me like it can't find sqlite3, but I don't understand why. It is in /usr/bin:

Macintosh:~ tommyc7$ which sqlite3
/usr/bin/sqlite3

and it's in my path:

Macintosh:~ tommyc7$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi

I would say, the problem is not the absence of [tt]sqlite3[/tt] command line tool, but the absence of [tt]sqlite3.rb[/tt] library.

( It is /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/sqlite3.rb on my machine, but I installed it with my distribution's package manager, not with [tt]gems[/tt]. )
