Hello all
I have built a new machine and am going through the paces to install
merb. My ultimate goal is to get a frozen merb app by the end of the
day.
First off, merb does not install without sqlite3. I think that is a
bit weird, but I realize that sqlite3 is standard on Mac. The system I
am using now is FreeBSD 7. Below is the error I get when trying to
install merb without sqlite3:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (ttyp0) 19 /home/jdf > sudo gem install merb
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing merb:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/local/bin/ruby18 extconf.rb install merb
checking for sqlite3.h... no
*** extconf.rb failed ***
No big deal, I install sqlite3, but then gem install merb fails again
because it can't find the header files. My sqlite3.h file is in
/usr/local/include. I thought that was a standard location. Anyway, no
worries, we can get around that too:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (ttyp0) 20 /home/jdf sudo gem install merb --
--with-sqlite3-include=/usr/local/include
Everything installed ok. And man, does merb have a lot of dependencies[1].
Now, I want to build my first merb app. Here I go, wish me luck:

Turns out, you can't use merb-gen without the json gem. Not sure why
it is not part of the dependencies.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (ttyp0) 23 /home/jdf > gem list | grep -i json
json_pure (1.1.3)
Again, no problems, after installing 'gem install json', merb finally works[2].
Most of this email is informational, but I think the json dependency
should be worked out, and remove the failure if sqlite3 is not
installed. One should really be able to install merb and use it
without sqlite3.
