While I was playing with Rails 2.1 I decided to try the SQLite3 support that comes built into OS X instead of using MySQL. Upon trying to run a migrate command via rake I was created with:
rake aborted! no such file to load -- sqlite3/database
After some digging around I found out that (for at least a few people) having the sqlite3-ruby-1.2.2 gem installed creates this problem… The following resolved it:
gem uninstall sqlite3-ruby Select gem to uninstall: 1. sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1 2. sqlite3-ruby-1.2.2 3. All versions > 3 daorriss$ sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby -v=1.2.1 Building native extensions. This could take a while... Successfully installed sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1... Installing RDoc documentation for sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1...
After that rake db:migrate worked without a hitch. But if anyone could tell me what could cause the problem with sqlite3-ruby-1.2.2 I’d appreciate it.. 🙂
