Hi all:

I've not been able to compile sqlite3-ruby with the native extensions.
I'm using SS12 (2008 release) from opensolaris.org.

The error message that I kept getting was "no target for 'ruby.h'.
However, checking the mkmf.log file revealed that a number of library
calls were missing.

Here's what I did to install sqlite3-ruby without the native extensions:
pfexec spkg install sqlite3-devel
Download sqlite3-ruby from the original site
pfexec ruby setup.rb all --without-ext

I chose to build without the native bindings. This is for personal
use. For a production app, I'd more likely use postgresql or mysql.

For a web app that does not require too much of database intensive
work, I felt that skipping the native extensions should be fine.

In case anyone wants to investigate building the native extensions, or
if you've already got this working, let me know.
