sqlite - cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError) on ruby on rails

Question

When I try to setup basic installation and initiation of server using Rails 4.0.0 on Ruby 2.0.0, I'm facing the following error message.

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)

How can I avoid this error message and proceed further?

Answer 1

Find your sqlite3 gemspec file. One example is /usr/local/share/gem/specifications/sqlite3-1.3.7.gemspec

Windows: C:Ruby21lib ubygems2.1.0specifications.

You should adjust according with your Rubygem path and sqlite3 version. Edit the file above and look for the following line

s.require_paths=["lib"]

change it to

s.require_paths= ["lib/sqlite3_native"]
