I had the same issue this morning after upgrading sqlite3-ruby to 1.3.0. A quick fix is to uninstall 1.3.0 and ensure 1.2.5 is installed:

gem uninstall sqlite3-ruby --version 1.3.0
gem install sqlite3-ruby --version 1.2.5

The better option is to set your gem config to ignore 1.3.0. For Rails 2.x, in config/environment.rb:

config.gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :lib => 'sqlite3', :version => '!= 1.3.0'

or if you want it play it really safe, explicitly pull in 1.2.5:

config.gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :lib => 'sqlite3', :version => '1.2.5'
