I have an account on a server that is not a super user. Because of this I've used RVM to install Ruby, and I've also installed a few gems.
However, the sqlite3-ruby gem does not want to install, since the sqlite3 binary is too old. I've downloaded a newer binary from the sqlite3 homepage, but I can't figure out how to point gem in the direction of the newer binary?
Use with-sqlite3-dir options:
$ gem install sqlite3

ERROR: Error installing sqlite3:

Try to edit your PATH environment variable to have the directory where your own sqlite3 binary resides.
