In my above comment, the #include line should say
#include “sqlite3.h”, where the double quotes are actually angle brackets (which must have borked the comment system).

This can also be a problem of missing gcc.
During the gem build, it does a check for the header by compiling little program containing one line:
#include
And if that fails, it seems to assume the header is missing. It doesn’t take into account that gcc could be missing, causing the error. So if the article doesn’t help, make sure you have gcc installed.
