I am new to Ruby. Try out a web application, but when I tried to access the page, it has the following error (see ERROR 1 below). So I thought I may have not installed "sqlite3" and tried downloading "sqlite\_3-6-4.zip" and "sqlitedll\_3-6-4.zip", unzipped it and place it in ruby's bin directory. Then I run the command: gem install sqlite3-ruby But found myself encounter the another error shown below (see ERROR 2). Any help would by wonderful ============================== ERROR 1 ---
