-- Capture -- $gem install sqlite3-ruby Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. C:/RoR/ruby/bin/ruby.exe extconf.rb install sqlite3-ruby checking for fdatasync() in rt.lib... no checking for sqlite3.h... no nmake 'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. -- end of capture --- --------------------------- Workaround that worked at: http://blog.muse.net.nz/2008/09/07/setup-rails-on-windows-to-use-sqlite3/ --------------------------- from there: not good!! nmake shouldn’t be necessary for installing a gem. Turns out we need to instead use: D:\ruby\bin>gem install --version 1.2.3 sqlite3-ruby Successfully installed sqlite3-ruby-1.2.3-x86-mswin32 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for sqlite3-ruby-1.2.3-x86-mswin32... Installing RDoc documentation for sqlite3-ruby-1.2.3-x86-mswin32...which works a treat. I expect this will trip up a fair few people so hope this helps the happy googlers.
