Unable to start the Webrick server with Ruby on Rails

Question

When I enter 'rails server' on the command line, I get the following error -

I already tried re-installing and uninstalling Rails, and I read somewhere that this was supposed to be a 64-bit issue, however, I didn't get this to work even when I installed the 32-bit version. Is there any way I could fix this?

Answer 1

Seems to be similar to this question

cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError) on ruby on rails

Perhaps try the suggestions there and see if that helps?
