Answer 1

I got help at Railsconf from a (the?) sqlite3-ruby gem maintainer, Aaron Patterson

Options:

• Get on Snow Leopard
• Install sqlite3-ruby 1.2.5
• Install sqlite3 via macports first

Get on Snow Leopard

sqlite3-ruby >= 1.3.0 not tested for OSX 10.5. Snow Leopard should work

Install sqlite3-ruby 1.2.5

gem install sqlite3-ruby -v 1.2.5

Then set each Rails3 Gemfile to say this

gem 'sqlite3-ruby', '1.2.5', :require => 'sqlite3'

Install sqlite3 via macports first

sudo port install sqlite3
gem install sqlite3-ruby
