How can install sqlite-ruby on linux when sqlite3 is not in /usr/local ?
- by Charles
I am trying to install sqlite3 and sqlite-ruby (ruby 1.8.6) on a linux box where I do not have root.
I downloaded the sqlite3 source, binaries, and shared library and placed them all in a directory called sqlite3
I then try to install sqlite-ruby using
gem install sqlite-ruby --with-sqlite-dir=the_path_sqlite/sqlite3
but I keep getting the error...
checking for main() in -lsqlite... no
checking for sqlite.h... no
* extconf.rb failed *
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers. Check the mkmf.log file for more
details. You may need configuration options.
Provided configuration options:
--with-opt-dir
--without-opt-dir
--with-opt-include
--without-opt-include=${opt-dir}/include
--with-opt-lib
--without-opt-lib=${opt-dir}/lib
--with-make-prog
--without-make-prog
--srcdir=.
--curdir
--ruby=/data/scratch/bettbra/common/packages/ruby-1.8.6/bin/ruby
--with-sqlite-dir
--with-sqlite-include
--without-sqlite-include=${sqlite-dir}/include
--with-sqlite-lib
--without-sqlite-lib=${sqlite-dir}/lib
--with-sqlitelib
--without-sqlitelib
