26,258 PointsAn error occured while installing sqlite (1.3.8) but I have sqlite (3.8.8.2) installed can't I use this version
I downloaded the ODOT project files to follow the tutorial on authentication in Rails. When I try bundle install I get the following error in the terminal
An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.8), and Bundler cannot continue. When I try gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8' I get the same error.
After sqlite3 -version I get version 3.8.8.2 can't I change the gemfile in my project tu use this version or find a way to install version 1.3.8 without any errors
Bellow the full error message in the terminal
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

7,299 PointsI had a similar problem that was fixed by changing gem file to look for the most current version of "sqlite3 gem".
You do this by adding the '>=' in front of the version. For example: gem 'sqlite3', '~> 1.3', '>= 1.3.11'
or you can always go to rubygems.org, search for the sqlite3 gem, and it will give you the current gem name to use in your gemfile.
