I can't install the sqlite3 gem on mac osx 10.8.2

Question

My bundle install is not working and I get this error:

Installing sqlite3 (1.3.6) with native extensions 
Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

    /Users/Frank/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/bin/ruby extconf.rb --with-sqlite3-       include=/Users/Frank/include --with-sqlite3-lib=/Users/Frank/lib --with-sqlite3-dir=/Users/Frank/bin

Which I think it has to do with the libsql-dev thats not working. but then I get this

Gem files will remain installed in /Users/Frank/gems/gems/sqlite3-1.3.6 for inspection.
Results logged to /Users/Frank/gems/gems/sqlite3-1.3.6/ext/sqlite3/gem_make.out

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.6), and Bundler cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.6'` succeeds before bundling.

I started getting it randmoly today and I can't run my rails apps without it. What can I do?

Was having this issue recently. Had to open up the XCode tools and accept the terms of service. Then everything worked fine. (Make sure you have XCode installed first)
