This question is not a duplicate.
I am a newbie trying to learn Ruby on rails using the tutorial at https://www.railstutorial.org/book/beginning. I have completed the various steps till 1.3.2 but when I run the "rails server" command I get the following error. Based on some of the comments that I have read, it seems that I need to "do a relative require on sqlite as Ruby has removed the current directory from the load path" using require_relative.
My GemFile is as follows:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
gem 'rails', '4.2.2'
gem 'sass-rails', '5.0.2'
gem 'uglifier', '2.5.3'
gem 'coffee-rails', '4.1.0'
gem 'jquery-rails', '4.0.3'
gem 'turbolinks', '2.3.0'
gem 'jbuilder', '2.2.3'
gem 'sdoc', '0.4.0', group: :doc
group :development, :test do
gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.9'
gem 'byebug', '3.4.0'
gem 'web-console', '2.0.0.beta3'
gem 'spring', '1.1.3'
end
The "Path" "system variable" on my windows laptop is(edited for brevity):
C:\Ruby21\bin;C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.1.0\lib\ruby\gems\2.1.0\gems\sqlite3-1.3.9-x86-mingw32\lib\sqlite3\2.0;
The C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.1.0\lib\ruby\gems\2.1.0\specifications\sqlite3-1.3.9-x86-mingw32.gemspec has the following line:
s.require_paths = ["lib/sqlite3_native"]
I have the following sqlite3 gemspec files in the C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby2.1.0\lib\ruby\gems\2.1.0\specifications folder.
sqlite3-1.3.9-x86-mingw32.gemspec
sqlite3-1.3.10-x86-mingw32.gemspec
sqlite3-1.3.11-x86-mingw32.gemspec
How should I go about doing this?
