sqlite3-ruby install error on Ubuntu
I have the following error during sqlite3-ruby install:
Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb checking for sqlite3.h... no sqlite3.h is missing.

sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby --without-sqlite3-include=/usr/include
doesn't work

You need the SQLite3 development headers for the gem’s native extension to compile against. You can install them by running (possibly with sudo
):
apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
You just need a --
in there.
sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-include=/usr/include
That specifies that the option is not to gem directly, but the specific gem.
