Cannot load sqlite3_native.so when trying to rake assets:precompile

Question

I'm following a tutorial of Ruby on rails from this website: https://rails-3-2.railstutorial.org/book/beginning#sec-heroku_setup

and I'm currently stuck at a part where it's telling me to run the command:

rake assets:precompile

It's giving me this error:

/home/myName/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p551@rails3tutorial2ndEd/gems/activesupport-3.2.16/lib/active_support/values/time_zone.rb:270: warning: circular argument reference - now rake aborted!

From what I understand of it, I think my sqlite3 is corrupted since I made sure that sqlite3 is installed ("gem list" returns me a list of the gems installed and sqlite 1.3.5 is installed).

I therefor attempted to re-install sqlite3 1.3.5 but no luck in getting it to work. I'm confused on how to resolve the issue, any help is very much appreciated!

Thank you!

Answer 1

I somehow fixed it.

I'm not exactly sure why it worked but it seems like it worked after re-installing bundler.

gem uninstall bundler

gem install bundler
