Wow, I had no idea you wrote all that stuff. I posted I got it working before your post ;)
Yeah, I actually did much of this stuff on my end, so I'm glad to see verification that I was doing things right! ;) I had problems using "bundle install" with sqlite, so yeah, I had to install those 2 sqlite3 packages. Lousy error messages though. Good thing google exists! ;) I think the last thing left is to either figure out a way to get the openjdk to run well with rubymine, or find another ide. I really like jetbrains' products. I've used intellij idea for almost 10 years and love it, so having that same experience would be great (not to mention I don't have to learn any new keyboard shortcuts and get confused as I continue to work on my java projects).
