Rails bundle install fails

Question

I am trying to make a new rails app when typing:

rails new app

I then get the error:

Could not find sqlite3-1.3.8 in any of the sources
Run `bundle install` to install missing gems.

I then run bundle install and get this error:

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.8), and Bundler cannot      continue.
Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8'` succeeds before bundling.

I have
sqlite3 (1.3.10) sqlite3-full (1.3.9.3) sqlite3-ruby (1.3.3)

I have no idea why the install wants to use 1.3.8 when I have 1.3.10 installed. I am new to rails but I have made a few small apps in the past few weeks, This is the first time this has happened to me. Is there A local Gem file that I could edit so when I create A new app it doesn't try to use this old gem. I have also tried to create a new app use postgres with the same error.

I am using mac osx 10.10.1. ruby version 2.2.1.

Thanks for any help.

EDIT: when I run

gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8'

this is the result:

./sqlite3_ruby.h:16:36: note: expanded from macro 'RBIGNUM_LEN' #define RBIGNUM_LEN(x) RBIGNUM(x)->len

~~~~~~~~~~ ^

statement.c:261:32: error: use of undeclared identifier 'SIZEOF_BDIGITS' if (RBIGNUM_LEN(value) * SIZEOF_BDIGITS <= 8) { ^ 1 warning and 2 errors generated. make: *** [statement.o] Error 1

make failed, exit code 2

Answer 1

Check your Gemfile and GemFile.lock to see if the versions are fixed. Remove the version or change it as necessary.

Answer 2

Do the following:

Delete your gemfile.lock Run bundle install .

If bundle install still fails, run gem uninstall sqlite3 and run bundle install

Gemfile and Gemfile.lock is located in the root folder of your file

Answer 3

Compare your app folder structure to this:

Note the folder structure and where the Gemfile is located. Inside the Gemfile , there are several gems or plugins for the different software dependencies that are typically required in a new Rails app. Open the Gemfile and inspect the file and look for sqlite3. Modify the version number next to the sqlite3 to match '1.3.8' . Example:

gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.8'

EDIT:

I suggest uninstalling/removing all instances of sqlite3 and following these instructions:

1. Ensure you have latest version of rubygems: gem update --system
2. Uninstall sqlite3
3. Install sqlite3: gem install sqlite3
4. Check install version: gem list sqlite3
5. Run rails new appappapp
