I had this same problem on ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex I think although I can never keep the animals straight). Turns out as per:

a solution that lets you use the gem directly is to

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

Hey,

I had a similar problem on ubuntu and the trick was to not use the gem version of sqlite. Instead I installed the libsqlite3-ruby package via my package manager. So now when i do a require 'sqlite3' everything works.
