Error with sqlite3 when running bundle install


So I was trying to run bundle install in my newly created Rails app when I got this error:

Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    /System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/bin/ruby -r ./siteconf20150114-6877-1x6zk4k.rb extconf.rb

sqlite3 is missing. Try 'port install sqlite3 +universal',
'yum install sqlite-devel' or 'apt-get install libsqlite3-dev'
and check your shared library search path (the
location where your sqlite3 shared library is located).

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.10), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.10'` succeeds before bundling.

My current sqlite3 version:

3.8.7.4 2014-12-09 01:34:36 f66f7a17b78ba617acde90fc810107f34f1a1f2e

Ruby:

ruby 2.0.0p481 (2014-05-08 revision 45883) [universal.x86_64-darwin14]

Brew:

0.9.5

Further info:

$ which sqlite3
/usr/local/bin/sqlite3
$ whereis sqlite3
/usr/bin/sqlite3

Does this have anything to do with the clashing of Ruby 2.0 and the default Ruby 1.8 that came with my OS X? I'm using OS X 10.10.

How can I solve this problem? Thank you very much!


Solution

  • So I found the solution: Simply (manually) uninstall any existing versions of sqlite3 in your computer. What I did was:

    1. Run which -a sqlite3 to find out the directories in which sqlite3 was installed (for me there were 4 versions O.o). Delete all those sqlite3 files (by rm)
    2. Manually delete all the sqlite-related files in /usr/local/lib, usr/local/bin and usr/local/include
    3. After all the deletion, run bundle install again in your app dir, and the required version of sqlite3 will automatically be installed.

      $bundle install Fetching gem metadata from https://rubygems.org/.......... Resolving dependencies... // Using a bunch of gems Installing sqlite3 1.3.10 Installing turbolinks 2.5.3 Installing uglifier 2.7.0 Installing web-console 2.0.0 Your bundle is complete! Use 'bundle show [gemname]' to see where a bundled gem is installed.

    I hope this saves some of your time, if you encountered the same problem as I did. Thanks!
