I am trying to install the sqlite3 gem on OSX Mavericks and I have run into an error that seems tricky to get around. By googling, I've not managed to find anyone else with the same problem.
Basically, when I run the gem install command this is what happens:
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3:

I don't know what clang is, but gem seems to be passing an argument which is perhaps deprecated or something? Anybody with any more knowledge about this stuff got any ideas?
