Question

I am building a facebook app using heroku. I used:

gem install taps

It gave error:

extconf.rb:36:in `require': no such file to load -- mkmf (LoadError) from extconf.rb:36

I googled it and found the stackoverflow link
I then used:

sudo aptitude install ruby1.9.1-dev build-essential

then I again tried:

gem install taps 

It gave error:

checking for sqlite3.h... no
sqlite3.h is missing

I installed sqlite3 using sudo apt-get install sqlite3 but when I tried again
(gem install taps) it still gives the error:

checking for sqlite3.h... no
sqlite3.h is missing

Answer 1

Sounds like you need the dev package for sqlite3:

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
