When I run Flutter doctor:
I have tried to run sudo gem install cocoapods to install it but still the same issue.
Please not that I am running xcode 12 with the newest flutter version in the dev channel.
Any ideas?
Error after running the flutter build:
What worked for me was to uninstall Cocoapods using sudo gem uninstall cocoapods and using Homebrew instead brew install cocoapods. P.s. I'm using an M1 Macbook.
I had the same problem and after hours of looking for a solution, I solved it with these steps:
(prerequisites: install homebrew first. To check if installed, in your terminal, type $ brew -v )
$ sudo gem uninstall cocoapods (skip this part if cocoapods is not installed. command $pod --version , will tell you if it's installed or not)
$ brew install cocoapods
If there's an error 'The brew link step did not complete successfully
The formula built,........, command $ brew link --overwrite cocoapods
$ brew reinstall cocoapods
$ flutter run
My operating system is macOS Big Sur.
Are you getting an error when you tried to sudo gem install cocoapods? I had to do sudo gem install ruby first to make it work on my Mac.
In my case the problem was that there was no ruby installation on my mac after a clean install of MacOSX Catalina. So what I did, was first to install Ruby Version Manager with this command:
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --rails
The RVM installed Ruby on my system along with other dependencies. After that I was able to install cocoapods with the recommended command:
sudo gem install cocoapods
and it worked flawlessly for me after that. Hope this helps. It seems that Apple has removed many developer tools lately from its systems, Ruby being one of them :(
What does it mean and how can I fix it:
pod install
/Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems.rb:250:in `find_spec_for_exe': can't find gem cocoapods (>= 0.a) (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
from /Library/Ruby/Site/2.0.0/rubygems.rb:278:in `activate_bin_path'
from /usr/local/bin/pod:22:in `<main>'
Using following commands, it worked for me.
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
cocoapods pod install
If you encounter this error on step 2:
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::CommandLineError) Please specify at least one gem name (e.g. gem build GEMNAME)
Then try this as step 2 instead (step 3 is not needed):
gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
If you install cocoapod using brew like me
Reinstall cocoapods:
brew reinstall cocoapods
If you see this error message after you reinstall cocoapods by brew reinstall go to step 2.

rm '/usr/local/bin/pod'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:

To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run cocoapods
Possible conflicting files are:

Uninstall the existing cocoapods, if any, by following command:
gem list --local | grep cocoapods | awk '{print $1}' | xargs sudo gem uninstall
Then install it to /usr/local/bin instead of /usr/bin using following command:
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
For further query, check this link to uninstall and this link to install cocoapods.
In my case nothing helped, then I:
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
cd /Users/nikkov/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.4.1/lib/ruby; In Finder I searched for cocoapods and removed everything.
brew install cocoapods
brew link --overwrite cocoapods (if needed)
I had upgraded my ruby version 2.5.3 to 2.7.2. Then, I want to update cocoapods from 1.9.3 to 1.10.0 . I got the following error while executing pod install.
can't find gem cocoapods (>= 0.a) with executable pod
(Gem::GemNotFoundException)
There is two way to install cocoapods by using homebrew & gem. If you had install cocoapods using gem run following.
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem uninstall -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
If you had used brew please using the following to uninstall
brew uninstall cocoapods
If you forgot which one you used earlier, please execute both commands. Please make sure all cocoapods instances are removed to check run pod --version.
If you find -bash: pod: command not found as output, all instances are removed properly. Else, you may need to remove cocoapods related files manually from this directory ~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.5.3/lib/ruby.
sudo gem update --system
gem install cocoapods

Thankfully i found solution after a hours.
As you know, newest Mac Operation System(Big Sur or oldest one) use ruby as a version system. So this ruby is private. You can not write/update some files that belong ruby.
So, we had a change to install rbenv for as a version control.
Firstly you should install rbenv via brew if you don't have
$ brew install rbenv
You need to know rbenv version number. You can see with below code snipped
$ rbenv version
Install Xcode's command line tools
xcode-select --install
Install rbenv via Homebrew
brew update
brew install rbenv ruby-build
Configure rbenv
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
Install and configure Ruby
rbenv install 3.1.1
rbenv global 3.1.1
rbenv rehash
source ~/.bash_profile
Install Cocoapods:
gem install cocoapods
In my case the reason of the issue was Gemfile file inside the folder with the project. When I removed this file, cocoapods started functioning as usual.
Try sudo gem update
After remove cocoapods
-Install cocoapods
When I tried #Aamir's solution, I ran into the error:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'cocoapods' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - no such name (https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
This worked for my Mac:
sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods
What finally worked for me was running rvm reset before reinstalling cocoapods
rvm reset
rvm --version
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
from here
In my case I was not able to install pod and cocoapods using gem, after changing command line tools I was able to run the commands
Running these commands worked for me:
brew update
brew install fastlane
fastlane install_plugins
React native has made several changes and this is how you install pods now
cd ios
bundle install
bundle exec pod install
https://reactnative.dev/docs/environment-setup
This helped me after I tried all these ways
xcode-select --install
If anyone stumbles upon this as a result of updating to react native 0.67.2+ from an older version (we were on 0.66.0) you have to make sure you re-install cocoapods via gem install cocoapods. Otherwise, your pod install will not work.
I'd installed Cocoapods using gem, so I reinstalled it again using gem. nothing happened.
so I removed it and install it using brew. it works.
I have also wrote on github, so I will copy it here, maybe it will be helpful for someone.
To be honest none of those solutions worked for me, just typing randomly commands will not help.
I don't know why, but my path was misconfigured. So first you should check if the path is good. I have used brew and installed rbenv in order to use safely libraries and after I ran pod install, I saw it was not targeting the right folder and always used the system version.
After I ran command
gem env
I saw that some paths are not correct.
"INSTALLATION DIRECTORY, RUBY EXECUTABLE, EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY, SYSTEM CONFIGURATION DIRECTORY AND GEM PATH"
should start something like this(depends of version) /Users/{username}/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/lib/ruby/. ... otherwise it uses system version..
In order to fix this you need to set paths in ~/.zshrc and ~/.zprofile
my zshrc looks like this:
export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(rbenv init -)"
export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH
export RBENV_ROOT=$HOME/.rbenv
export PATH=$RBENV_ROOT/shims:/versions:$PATH
zprofile:
eval $(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)
in order to change /.zshrc: type nano ~/.zshrc
To relink, run:
brew unlink cocoapods && brew link cocoapods

There are similar questions:

Failed to build gem native extension (mkmf (LoadError)) - Ubuntu 12.04
Usually, the solution is:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Or, if that doesn't work, depending on your ruby version, run something like:
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
Should fix your problem.
Still not working? Try the following after installing ruby-dev:
sudo apt-get install make
For WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) you need install build-essential package:
sudo apt install build-essential
Just finished a 2 hour wild goose chase trying to solve this. None of the posted answers worked for me. Im on a Mac (Mojave Version 10.14.6, Xcode Version 11.3).
It turns out the ruby file headers were missing so i had to run open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
That didnt work for me at first because the version of CommandLineTools i had installed did not have the "Packages" folder. So i uninstalled and reinstalled like this:
rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
xcode-select --install
Then i ran the previous command again:
open /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg
After install the error was fixed!
I had the same issue trying to install jquery-rails. The fix was
sudo apt-get install zlibc zlib1g zlib1g-dev
For MacOS users:
Just do this and easily it will solve your problem:
brew install cocoapods
In case anyone in the future had this problem, I'm using a Mac and just had to install the Command Line Tools using 'xcode-select --install'
I found that I needed to install another version of ruby. So running the command
$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
and then attempt to install the extension
If you run into issues where it is telling you that you don't have g++ you can run the following command to install it
$ sudo apt-get install g++
Make sure ruby-dev is installed
Make sure make is installed
If you still get the error, look for suggested packages. If you are trying to install something like gem install pg you will also need to install the lib libpq-dev (sudo apt-get install libpq-dev).
I created a small hackMD to install cocoapods on MacOS 10.15 (Catalina) and 11 (Big Sur)
https://hackmd.io/#sBJPlhRESGqCKCqV8ZjP1A/S1UY3W7HP
Installing Cocoapods on MacOS Catalina(MacOS 10.15.X) and Big Sur (MacOS 11)
Make sure you have xcode components are installed.
Download 'Command Line Tools' (about 500MB) directly from this link (Requires you to have apple account)
https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
Install the downloaded file
Click on Install
Install COCOAPODS files in terminal
sudo gem install -n /usr/local/bin cocoapods
This worked for me.
bundle config --global build.snappy --with-opt-dir="$(brew --prefix snappy)"
It also helps to ensure libmysqlclient-dev is installed (Ubuntu 14.04)
What ended up working for me after a few hours of pain..
if you're running brew..
brew install ruby
in the terminal output/log, identify the path where ruby was installed, brew suggests 'You may want to add this to your PATH', so that's what we'll do. For example, mine is
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/3.0.0/bin
Add this to your path by running (omitting braces)
echo 'export PATH"{the_path_you_found_above}:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
then update your environment by running
source ~/.bash_profile
now, try running your install, i.e.,
sudo gem install middleman
If you are a mac user you must need to update the clang version being used
I burnt hours searching this and installed uninstalled xcode commandline tools but it didn't help.
I ran gcc -v and Apple clang version 11.0.0 (clang-1100.0.33.8 was the output.
Then I ran xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/ and clang version was updated to Apple clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29).
bundle install was successful after that.
I hope this may help.
I was making a word search app and I had to install cocoapods and after formatting my mac and reinstalling xcode, I still got the error when I wanted to install cocoapods.
And the solution for this was the following:
It looks like CocoaPods 1.9.0, the latest version as of this writing, depends on a newer version of Ruby than 2.3.7. But macOS Mojave only includes Ruby 2.3.7, so you have a few different options.
Upgrade to macOS Catalina and get Ruby 2.6.3
Use Ruby Version Manager to install a newer version of Ruby
Install an older version of CocoaPods
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.8.4
I did 3:
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.8.4
In Mac, for me this works:
CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared" rbenv install 2.2.2
After some search for a solution, it turns out the -dev package is needed, not just ruby1.8. So if you have ruby1.9.1 doing
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev
or to install generic ruby version, use (as per #lamplightdev comment):
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
should fix it.
Try to locate mkmf to see if the file is actually there.
first set your Xcode version on the terminal:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app
then install:
sudo gem install cocoapods
I always worked my way around Nokogiri installation issues by following the documentation in the "Installing Nokogiri" tutorial.
But this time, even after installing all the dependencies, Nokogiri hasn't been installed. I get the following error:
libxml2 is missing. please visit <http://nokogiri.org/tutorials/installing_nokogiri.html>
I tried installing it by specifying the libxml2 and libxslt directories:
sudo gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-include=/usr/include/libxml2 --with-xml2-lib=/usr/lib --with-xslt-dir=/usr/
but it returned the same error.
I followed all the other related Stack Overflow articles and none helped. Does anyone have a solution?
You may actually need to install both of these packages
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
First, install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
If you still receive the error, you may be missing a compiler toolchain:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
You'll get the "libxml2 is missing" error if you're missing a build toolchain (at least I ran into this issue on Debian Lenny).
The Nokogiri build test-compiles a libxml2 header file to verify that it is present, however, it doesn't differentiate between "libxml2 is missing" and "a compiler to test libxml2 is missing".
In Mac OS X (Mavericks), installing the libraries with brew and setting NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=1 before installing the gem did the trick for me.
Summarising:
If previously installed, uninstall the gem:
gem uninstall nokogiri
Use Homebrew to install libxml2, libxslt and libiconv:
brew install libxml2 libxslt libiconv
Install the gem specifying the paths to the libraries to be linked against:
NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=1 gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries --with-iconv-dir="$(brew --prefix libiconv)" --with-xml2-config="$(brew --prefix libxml2)/bin/xml2-config" --with-xslt-config="$(brew --prefix libxslt)/bin/xslt-config"
I just had the same issue on Fedora 13. After a frustrating and unsuccessful search to make
gem install nokogiri
work for me, I was able to install it and get around the libxml2 error via yum.
Simply install the gem via yum instead of the gem command:
su
yum search rubygem-nokogiri #this find the proper package name
yum install rubygem-nokogiri.i686
This helped me find the right answer for Fedora and, as I am using RVM for Ruby package management,
yum install rubygem-nokogiri
will pull in all the Ruby gems and dependencies into the system, not into my RVM environment, and in my experience that leads to a very frustrating and humbling experience.
So, taking your find of the Nokogiri yum gem you can use:
yum provides rubygem-nokogiri
and get a list of the dependencies for rubygem-Nokogiri which showed me the libraries that were missing. After that I ran:
yum install libxml2-devel libxslt libxslt-devel
Now Nokogiri compiles in Fedora and Nokogiri installs. D'oh!, we need the headers to compile Nokogiri from the devel libraries.
In Mac OS X (Mavericks) if none of these solutions work, try:
ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" gem install nokogiri
or
ARCHFLAGS="-arch i386" gem install nokogiri
depending on your system's architecture.
You usually need development files for building gems. Try:
sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev
(I just saw that Eric suggested the same in a comment.)
I was able to get this installed with Chocolatey, Windows 8.1 x64, and DevKit x64.
cinst libxml2
cinst libxslt
cinst libiconv
gem install nokogiri --
--with-xml2-include=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxml2.2.7.8.7\build\native\include
--with-xml2-lib=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxml2.redist.2.7.8.7\build\native\bin\v110\x64\Release\dynamic\cdecl
--with-iconv-include=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libiconv.1.14.0.11\build\native\include
--with-iconv-lib=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libiconv.redist.1.14.0.11\build\native\bin\v110\x64\Release\dynamic\cdecl
--with-xslt-include=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxslt.1.1.28.0\build\native\include
--with-xslt-lib=C:\Chocolatey\lib\libxslt.redist.1.1.28.0\build\native\bin\v110\x64\Release\dynamic
You'll have to verify the version number in the paths are correct.
You may possibly need to add Microsoft's NuGet repository:
-Source "https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=230477"
It will be:
sudo yum install -y libxml2 libxml2-devel
on RHEL servers.
At macOS none of above/below had really worked for me until I explicitly provided XCode libxml2 path to --with-xml2-include.
gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-include=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/libxml2 --use-system-libraries
I was able to install Nokogiri 1.6.5 on Fedora 20 by doing:
export NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=true
Then running:
gem install nokogiri
For anyone else experiencing this issue, I solved it by running this command within the project directory
gem install nokogiri -- --use-system-libraries
Update: I ran into this again and tried just updating the gem which worked for me...
gem update nokogiri
Have you tried installing libxml2? Not from rubygems, but via the standard install process for your operating system. On Ubuntu/Debian for example:
sudo apt-get install libxml2
On any recent version of OS X it should already be installed.
For OSX users, if you've had success installing Nokogiri before, yet are getting errors installing it on, say, using a new version of Ruby that you've added and that error that includes a message like:
The compiler failed to generate an executable file. (RuntimeError)
You have to install development tools first.
This could be indicative of a XCode upgrade having happened via the App Store, either manually or automatically, and you not having opened it since that time.
If so, you should be able to open XCode, agree to the new license, and then install Nokogiri successfully.
On Mac OS X Yosemite my mistake was that I tried to use sudo gem install when it's a rule of thumb to not use superuser privileges when installing gems.
In my case it tried to modify the system installation of Ruby, and that's not a good idea. I installed rbenv, installed Ruby 2.2.2 thru it and set it as global, which is a term from rbenv's documentation. After that Nokogiri could install itself with a simple
gem install nokogiri
No hacks or workarounds were necessary, just a properly set environment; Nokogiri does the rest perfectly.
Was able to install vagrant-awe by following the above post but using the command as follow:
NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=1 vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
For Windows x64:
gem inst nokogiri --pre --platform ruby
For more information check this thread: https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/issues/864
I was able to install Nokogiri by running the following packages:
$ dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries"
$ dnf install ruby-devel libxml2-devel patch
=== TLDR ===
As the instructions state, build Ruby with the latest clang compiler, or at least the same version that Rubygems will use to compile Nokogiri's native extensions libxml and libxsl.
If using RVM, building from source with the --with-ggc=clang flag was what did it for me:
rvm install 2.2 --with-gcc=clang
Replace 2.2 with whatever version you want. --with-gcc=clang ensures RVM builds from source and uses clang to do so; otherwise RVM may a pre-built binary Ruby, which is what tripped me up.
Then, install Nokogiri as normal using Bundler or Rubygems.
=== IN DEPTH ===
I struggled with this for a while. gem install nokogiri gave me:
checking for xmlParseDoc() in libxml/parser.h... no
checking for xmlParseDoc() in -lxml2... no
checking for xmlParseDoc() in -llibxml2... no
Digging into mkmf.log I saw:
conftest.c:15:27: error: too few arguments to function call, single argument 'cur' was not specified
int t(void) { xmlParseDoc(); return 0; }
Nokogiri supplies its own libxml and libxsl (as of 1.6.4). The signature defined in Nokogiri's local copy of parser.h (found under the gem install directory) is:
xmlParseDoc (const xmlChar *cur);
So I was at a loss as to how the method call in the hermetically sealed conftest.c file usage couldn't match up with the header file for parser.h.
When I realized I had probably installed a binary Ruby I removed and reinstalled using --with-gcc=clang (to force compilation and use clang) and the problem was solved:
rvm uninstall 2.2
rvm install 2.2 --with-gcc=clang
gem install nokogiri
I'm not exactly sure why that works as the system libxml header /usr/include/libxml2/libxml/parser.h has the same signature as Nokogiri's local copy.
It's weird, but it worked. Just make sure you compile a Ruby with clang.
gem install nokogiri -- --with-xml2-include=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.7.8/include/libxml2 --with-xml2-lib=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.7.8/lib --with-xslt-dir=/usr/local/Cellar/libxslt/1.1.26 --with-iconv-include=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.14/include --with-iconv-lib=/usr/local/Cellar/libiconv/1.14/lib
Change your version with it.
I'm try to install the SQLite gem on a Fedora 9 Linux box with Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 2.2.2, gem 1.3, and sqlite-3.5.9. Here's the command I'm running and its results:
sudo gem install sqlite3-ruby
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3-ruby:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb install sqlite3-ruby
can't find header files for ruby.
Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.4 for inspection.
Results logged to /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-ruby-1.2.4/ext/sqlite3_api/gem_make.out
gem_make.out just repeats what was already sent to the console. How can I install this gem?
The SQLite RubyGem isn't actually a RubyGem, it's a "CGem", IOW it's written in C. This means it has to be compiled and linked to the Ruby interpreter when you install it and in order to do that it needs the C header files for the Ruby interpreter.
If you compile Ruby yourself, those header files will be installed automatically, however, in RedHat-ish systems, such header files are usually packaged in a seperate package, called <whatever>-dev. So, in this case you will need to install the ruby-dev package and possibly the libsqlite3-dev (Ubuntu) or sqlite-devel (Fedora) package as well.
However, you might be better off just installing your Operating System's pre-packaged libsqlite3-ruby package, that way all the dependencies are automatically satisfied.
(Note: all package names pulled out of thin air, might be different on your system.)
You probably need the ruby dev package. For Ubuntu you have to install ruby1.8-dev which includes the ruby header files. A quick google says that the yum package is ruby-devel. so run this:
sudo yum install ruby-devel
I faced problem installing sqlite3-ruby gem on my fedora 13 box.
It was fixed after sudo yum install sqlite-devel
When I had that problem:
gem install sqlite3 -v '1.3.9'
Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing sqlite3:
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.
For me worked, installing the "libsqlite3-dev" with:
apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
Fixed it for me.
On Ubuntu 9 and 10 try:
sudo apt-get install ruby-dev
sudo apt-get install sqlite3-dev
Then run
gem install sqlite3
Run the following for Fedora OS:
yum install rubygem-sqlite3
On alpine, you need to install the sqlite-dev package.
I also faced this same issue, the problem is that your Linux installation requires the development libraries for SQLite3 to be installed in order to build the gem.
Here's how I fixed the issue
Open your terminal and run the following commands
sudo apt-get install sqlite3
sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev
And then try installing Sqlite3 gem again using this command
gem install sqlite3
That's all.
I hope this helps
Do you have all the source code required to build sqlite3-ruby? Gem is trying to compile some C code and cannot find the headers. You can probably use a fedora rpm for sqlite3-ruby (I don't use fedora, but I'm sure one exists) if you prefer to forgo compiling. Personally for ruby stuff, I prefer to use gem rather than a distro's packaging system.
I'm not really familiar with Fedora, but in Ubuntu when you are installing packages you have apt-get, and you have to install the build-essentials which includes gcc and other compilation tools for C. I would say that could be your issue, and you make look into how that can be install either using RPM or apt-get on Fedora.
I fixed the problem on my OLPC (Fedora 9) by installing 'gcc' oddly enough. It seems like it should have been one of those dev packages, but no.
Also, regarding the other packages, the suffix is "-devel", not "-dev", so make sure you get those ending right: "ruby-devel", "sqlite-devel"...
Once you get that installed, if you get errors about your gems being too old "< 1.3.1" when you try to run various rails scripts, eg: script/server or script/console, google "upgrade_rubygems" to fix that problem...
HTH...
Run "sudo yum install sqlite-devel" and then "gem install sqlite3". Had the same problem on my Fedora 15.
I had this same exact issue...instead of gem'ing the missing pieces I used synaptic on unbuntu.
The key package for me was libsqlite-ruby1.9.1 ... I documented my experience (for reference) with this error at :
Sqlite3-gem-error-during-bundle-install
I encountered this error while running bundle install after generating a react-rails app on Fedora 29. I was able to identify a suitable development package by running dnf search sqlite3, then installed it dnf install libsqlite3x-devel. This fixed it for me.
