Starting the rails, sqlite3 Error

Question

I start checking that the versions are appropriate, after checking that my system meets the minimum requirements: rails new app When zero the new application I get the message NEXT:

         run  bundle install
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/ui.rb:36:in `initialize': undefined method `[]' for #<Thor::Shell::Color:0x95890e0> (NoMethodError)

entered the newly created Rails application. I run bundle install thereupon start to install and get the following error message:

An error occurred while installing sqlite3 (1.3.8), and Bundler
cannot continue.
Make sure that `gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.8'` succeeds before
bundling.

I've tried but I get an error message when I try to install splite3:

I had the same error, trying to start a new Rails project. In this case sqlite3.h is missing, means that libsqlite3-dev is missing, I guess (I'm new with Ubuntu and Sqlite3). The answer can be found right here : Installing sqlite headers.

~$ sudo apt-get install sqlite3
~$ sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
~$ bundle install

After that, rails server worked well for me. I had my Welcome aboard in localhost.
