Whenever I can&#8217;t remember why sqlite3 and ActiveRecord are busted on Mac OS X I visit this page:</p> <p><a href="http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/BeAlertWhenOnSqlite3" rel="nofollow">http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/camping/wiki/BeAlertWhenOnSqlite3</a></p> <p>There is also information on this page:</p> <p><a href="http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUseSQLite" rel="nofollow">http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoUseSQLite</a></p> <p>Unfortunately on the rails wiki the instructions to use SWIG are buried halfway down the page and printed in red.</p> Sun, 02 Jul 2006 13:15:28 -0700 urn:uuid:f33b0c53c9e4c2b8fbd32d7b066bdc3b http://scottstuff.net/blog/2006/07/01/sqlite-3-and-ruby-finally-working-on-os-x#comment-1403 <p>Sqlite3 is very useful for tests and speeds them up significantly for me.</p> Sun, 02 Jul 2006 19:12:58 -0700 urn:uuid:4a3681d513dbbee8750a4bd850312cc8 http://scottstuff.net/blog/2006/07/01/sqlite-3-and-ruby-finally-working-on-os-x#comment-345 <p>There are also some symptoms other than the one you describe, e.g. WEBrick crashing randomly, complaining about deadlocks.</p> <p>I first experienced this instability over a year ago, and since at the time there wasn&#8217;t much information available regarding the cause, took it to be a general Rails problem. Due to time constraints I had to give up on using Rails for that particular project.</p> <p>This problem is common enough that it might certainly be sensible for the SQLite3 gem to print out some warnings when being installed on a system sans SWIG, giving the user a chance to either approve installation of the pure-Ruby bindings or just abort.</p> Mon, 03 Jul 2006 03:11:52 -0700 urn:uuid:d1506931840d89e04b77556a71612312 http://scottstuff.net/blog/2006/07/01/sqlite-3-and-ruby-finally-working-on-os-x#comment-1422
