Please help!! Thanks

This has been covered before on this list, but just for the record:

Latest version of sqlite3-ruby lacks binaries for Windows. For you to
build using version 1.2.4 of the gem also requires a compiler, which
in your case must be Microsoft Visual C 6.0

Since is an obsolete compiler, highly unlikely you will find a
downloadable version.

Please force the installation to prior version:

gem install sqlite3-ruby -v=1.2.3
