I’m running Mac OSX Snow Leopard, this problem is caused by a recent train wreck in which I updated ruby without RVM. I’ve attempted to properly install/run RVM, however I can’t get it to work.
I am unable to install the sqlite3-ruby gem. I get the following ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
How do I fix this?

uninstall the sqlite3 gem and then try again — i seem to recall that sqlite3 and sqlite3-ruby aren’t compatible. otherwise, append the results file to your question so we can see what went wrong when the compilation happened.
