Rails - Jun 2005 - uninitialized constant SQLite::API even though sqlite-ruby gem is installed

I am trying to set up a rails app that uses sqlite on DreamHost. 
After spending hours spinning my wheels only to figure out that there
was a permissions problem on my public dir and dispatch files, I now
have another error:

uninitialized constant SQLite::API

I''m assuming this is happening because rails is not looking for
sqlite-ruby as a gem instead of as a regular include.  Where is the
proper place in my rails app to fix this?

Thanks,
Carl Youngblood

The easiest way is to put "require ''rubygems''" in
your
environment.rb. I assume doing:

   require ''rubygems''
   require ''sqlite''

in irb works fine?

- Jamis

Unfortunately DreamHost doesn''t have irb installed, but yes, running a
one-liner with that inside works great.

However, when I examine environment.rb, I see the following line:

require ''rubygems'' unless
File.directory?("#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/rails")

The specified directory doesn''t exist, so this should be requiring
rubygems, but it doesn''t seem to be.

What version of the gem is installed?

- Jamis

sqlite-ruby (2.2.3)
    SQLite/Ruby is a module to allow Ruby scripts to interface with a
    SQLite database.

Again. I''d just use this script:
