I'm trying to install the "sqlite3-ruby" gem (or the "sqlite3" gem) on OS X 10.6. I'm using ruby-1.9.2 and I currently get the following:
$ sqlite3 --version
3.7.4
$ sudo gem install sqlite3
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/folken/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-head/gems/sqlite3-1.3.3 for inspection.
The following is the results of which & whereis, and the sqlite3.h is located in /opt/local/include:
$ which sqlite3
/opt/local/bin/sqlite3
$ whereis sqlite3
/usr/bin/sqlite3
I've tried passing in the following as well:
sudo gem install sqlite3 -- --with-sqlite3-include /opt/local/include --with-sqlite3-lib /opt/local/lib
sudo gem install sqlite3 -- --with-sqlite3-dir /opt/local/bin
which results in the following:
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Under RVM I have ruby-1.8.7 and the sqlite3 gem loads fine on that, but after much googling I have not found a solution that works for me. Any help is greatly appreciated (even if it involves manual installation / hackery to get working).
