cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError) on ruby on rails
ruby-on-rails, sqlite
Solution
Find your sqlite3 gemspec file. One example is `/usr/local/share/gem/specifications/sqlite3-1.3.7.gemspec`
Windows: `C:\Ruby21\lib\ruby\gems\2.1.0\specifications`.
You should adjust according with your Rubygem path and sqlite3 version. Edit the file above and look for the following line
s.require_paths=["lib"]
change it to
s.require_paths= ["lib/sqlite3_native"]
Problem
When I try to setup basic installation and initiation of server using Rails 4.0.0 on Ruby 2.0.0, I'm facing the following error message. ``` /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `rescue in <top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/lib/sqlite3.rb:2:in `<top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:in `block (2 levels) in require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:70:in `each' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:70:in `block in require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:59:in `each' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:59:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler.rb:132:in `require' from /home/penchal/new/site/config/application.rb:7:in `<top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:76:in `require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:76:in `block in <top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:73:in `tap' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:73:in `<top (required)>' from bin/rails:4:in `require' from bin/rails:4:in `<main>' ``` How can I avoid this error message and proceed further?
