  • sqlite3.h is missing – Ruby on Rails

    Just an error I ran into while running bundle install on a new ubuntu virtual: Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. /usr/bin/ruby1.8 extconf.rb checking for sqlite3.h… no sqlite3.h is missing.

    Due to a few recent issues with SunSpot (see my previous posts), I’ve decided to uninstall it until I have enough time to work on it properly. Once again, Ruby makes this pretty simple: chris@chris-VirtualBox:~/site$ sudo gem uninstall sunspot [sudo] password for chris: You have requested to uninstall the gem: sunspot-1.2.1 sunspot_rails-1.2.1 depends on [sunspot…
