Your actual ruby dir will vary. I found it by looking in ext/sqlite3_api/mkmf.log and examining the "-I..." directories which are the places gcc will look for include files. By: Mike Wilson Building sqlite-ruby with non-std sqlite dir [ reply ]   2006-08-02 13:04 I am trying to build sqlite-ruby from source. I have sqlite installed in a non-standard place as I don't have root access. Some messages imply I can specify the directory, but setup.rb fails. If I try the simple way, I get: $ruby setup.rb config checking for sqlite3.h... no But this doesn't work either: $ruby setup.rb config \ --with-sqlite3-dir=$HOME/local config: unknown option --with-sqlite3-dir=/home/mrw/local sqlite3.h is definately in $HOME/local/include How can I configure and build sqlite-ruby?
