Rails Server Sqlite LoadError

Question

When trying to run rails server command from the command line I get the following error. The first line seems the most pertinent, as the ones that follow appear to be errors due to the LoadError . However, I'm not really sure.

I have Sqlite3 installed to my Ruby root folder (Ruby21/sqlite). I've also got the Sqlite3 gem installed and the installation returns no errors. I can run sqlite from the command prompt. This is the same way I've got it installed on my laptop, which works fine so I'm really at a loss here. Any help appreciated.

This issue is resolved on this link. You basically have to change the require path from

s.require_paths=["lib"]

to

s.require_paths= ["lib/sqlite3_native"]

You can find it in your sqlite3 gemspec file. One example is /usr/local/share/gem/specifications/sqlite3-1.3.7.gemspec or 'C:\\Ruby21\\lib\\ruby\\gems\\2.1.0\\specifications'.
