Rails - Aug 2005 - sqlite install on Mac OS X

I have spent the better part of this afternoon, trying to get sqlite3  
support running on OS X - and constantly run into problems:

I followed the description on the Wiki[1]. I already have a sqlite3  
in /usr/bin.

I compiled & installed SWIG. When I do "gem install sqlite3" I get
a
complaint about a missing sqlite.h file. Googling, I found this [2]  
but that assumes a built sqlite. So I downloaded the source tarball  
and tried to compile it. Now I''m stuck with the following error  
message in the "make" phase:

/usr/bin/libtool: for architecture: cputype (16777234) cpusubtype (0)  
file: -lSystem is not an object file (not allowed in a library)
make: *** [libsqlite3.la] Error 1

Googling does not give a solution that helps (repair disk permissions).

Before this, I tried to use Darwin Ports to install sqlite3, but ran  
into the same error in the linking phase.

I''m probably doing something really stupid, but I
can''''t figure out
where the problem is. Any help out there?

thanks
Jens-Christian

One problem solved. By installing the Tiger version of the XCode  
tools on Tiger (duhhhh), I could compile & link sqlite3. Now I''m  
struggling with the gem ;-)
