sqlite3.dll problem

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hi I'm triying to begin developing in ruby on rails, and I've instaled all the components but there is a problem with the file sqlite3.dll. When I try to execute my first example in my web browser apears an alert that says sqlite3.dll is not found. I'm working on windows XP with firefox and the server is WEBrick.

If someone knows how can I resolve the problem please response. Thanks for reading :slight_smile:

You must put sqlite3.dll file into directory c:\windows\system32

No, no, no. You must not put anything into %windir%\system32, ever.

It is enough if the sqlite3.dll is somewhere in your path. It's best if it is in the lib dir of the SQLite3 gem.

In my case that would be: C:\dev\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1-x86-mswin32\lib (notice that the sqlite3_api.so is residing there, too).

Thanks it's finally working

@Phillip Gawlowski Personnally, it did not work to put sqlite3.dll in \ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\sqlite3-ruby-1.2.1-x86-mswin32\lib nor \ruby\gems\1.8\gems\sqlite3-ruby-1.2.5-x86-mingw32\lib\1.8 where there is sqlite3_api.so nor \ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\sqlite3-ruby-1.2.5-x86-mingw32\lib\sqlite3\driver\dl where there is api.rb

Finally I put it in /ruby/bin/ ...

Just curious why it wouldn't be installed when you type gem install... and maybe helping to post where to get it since it doesn't come with the install

Hi,In my case I use Ruby 1.9.1 OS is WindowsXP SP3

Solution 1.Go to SQLite Download Page   and Download file sqlitedll-3_7_0_1.zip (265.19 KiB)   unzip then we will get sqlite3.dll 2.copy sqlite3.dll to your bin folder as C:\Ruby191\bin then it works

Thanks @Armoilla for this nice solution. Yes, it works.

This doesn't seem to be working for me.

Ruby 1.9.2 Windows XP

I have the sqlite3.dll in my ruby/bin dir but I still get the error "The procedure entry point sqlite3_column_database_name could not be located in the dynamic link library sqlite3.dll." when I run " rails server" from the command prompt.

Any ideas?

I tried putting the .dll in both system32 and the other lib folder as suggested in this thread.

Thanks! Andre

That indicates the dll is from a old version of sqlite3. Please try to use SQLite 3.6.16 or greater, as indicated by the gem install sqlite3- ruby:

C:\Users\Luis>gem install sqlite3-ruby Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
