error on rails server - cannot load such file — sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)

Question

I have installed ruby 2.0 using rubyinstaller, devkit and rails 4.0 beta (all 32 bit) on my 64 bit windows (because ruby weirdly misinterprets 64 bit processor to be a 32 bit)

I have added sqlite3 binaries (downloaded separately) to my PATH.

When I run rails server command, i get the following error

C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7-x86-mingw32/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in `require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError) from C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7-x86-mingw32/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:

I have tried the fix at https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/rubyinstaller/gedIaMryCFQ to reinstall sqlite3 gem from source, but it fails with error cannot find sqlite3.

After hours of debugging I cannot fix this problem. This has totally broken my motivation to learn the infallible Ruby on Rails framework. Ruby was supposed to be easy! Can someone help?

Answer 1

我们在Windows 64bit机器上遇到了版本Ruby 2.0的问题（“缺少sqlite3_native”），所以我们恢复到Ruby 1.93并且它有效。
