Rails - Sep 2009 - Problem configuring database with rubyonrails.

Hi,

I was trying to configure sqlite3  as a backend to work with rubyonrails.
>>First i did yum install sqlite and got the package installed.
>>Then i did <gem install sqlite>.I got an error message:
Building native extensions.  This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing sqlite:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install sqlite
can''t find header files for ruby.


Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-2.0.1
for inspection.

/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite-2.0.1/ext/gem_make.out
>>Then i did <gem install sqlite-ruby> and got an error message:

That is the right gem. You need to install the package that has the
ruby development headers. Often called something like ruby-dev or ruby-
devel (probably also for sqlite3)
