Thanks. Okay I admit that I never quite worked out what was going on with the sqlite packages in ruby. There are two it seems in the same project: sqlite and sqlite3. And I think there is another project out there someplace. Trying to install sqlite as a gem installs version 2.0.1 but the most recent version, if I understand rubyforge correctly, is 2.2.3; and 2.0.1 is marked a beta. Even though gem install tries to install 2.0.1 there is a gem on rubyforge for 2.2.3. Worse, 2.0.1 won't compile on my machine. I havn't looked into it yet but it reeks of missing libraries. Sqlite3 does appear to install. I know I've had it working before so this doesn't surprise me too much (this is also the reason I never worked out what the different projects are). Oh well. Something to do on a Saturday morning. And the delayed gratification in seeing your 'hack' isn't all it's cracked up to be, I think I prefer instant gratification -- but gratification there will be :-) Cheers, Bob > > -a > -- > we can deny everything, except that we have the possibility of > being better. > simply reflect on that. > - the dalai lama > <sqlitespace.rb> ---- Bob Hutchison -- blogs at <http://www.recursive.ca/ hutch/> Recursive Design Inc. -- <http://www.recursive.ca/> Raconteur -- <http://www.raconteur.info/> xampl for Ruby -- <http://rubyforge.org/projects/xampl/>
