ruby-sqlite3 not available

pacman -S ruby-sqlite3

produces following output: error: 'ruby-sqlite3': could not find or read package

Don't know why I can't get the package, here it is: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=9256
When I search under packages it's not available.

When I try to install it with gems I become a failure.

checking for sqlite3.h... *** extconf.rb failed ***
Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of
necessary libraries and/or headers.  Check the mkmf.log file for more
details.  You may need configuration options.

Anybody an idea how i can get the ruby-bindining for sqlite3?

Re: ruby-sqlite3 not available

You do have SQLite3 already installed right?
It is required before installing the gem.

There is a link to an updated PKGBUILD on the AUR page.
The gem has also been renamed to 'sqlite3' as of version 1.3.3.

Re: ruby-sqlite3 not available

Either way you will need the core/sqlite3 package: `pacman -S sqlite3 --asdeps'

To use the AUR method: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR

To use the gem method: `gem install sqlite3'

Re: ruby-sqlite3 not available

Don't know if this is pertinent or not, but this came up not to long ago:

Hello! The sqlite3-ruby gem has changed it's name to just sqlite3. Rather than
installing sqlite3-ruby, you should install sqlite3. Please update your
dependencies accordingly.

Thanks from the Ruby sqlite3 team!

I'd try tdy' suggestion.
