Just a guess here but... I notice that your install target directory is /usr/local/... while "which sqlite3" points at /usr/bin. I'm suspecting that the path to the library is not set right in your environment - you need to be able to find the sqlite includes and libraries during the install. Not sure what's the simplest way to do this but here's what works for me.
I use /opt/local/... for my personal install root as OSX upgrades overwrite the /usr/local directory. I built (ppc pre-built not available) and installed my own copy of sqlite3 in /opt/local/bin and have /opt/local/bin at the front of my search path. I'm running OSX 10.5.6, here are my RoR specs: Ruby version 1.8.7 (powerpc-darwin9) RubyGems version 1.3.1 Rails version 2.2.2 Active Record version 2.2.2 Action Pack version 2.2.2 Active Resource version 2.2.2 Action Mailer version 2.2.2 Active Support version 2.2.2 Application root /Users/rick/sqlite-test Environment development Database adapter sqlite3 Hope this helps...
