I'm really new to coding so please pardon my inexperience. I'm following Michael Hartl's tutorial, and I'm stuck on the part where you're supposed to make a server. The instruction is to simply type:

$ rails server

The error message I'm getting is:

/Users/name/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/gems/sqlite3-1.3.5/lib/sqlite3/sqlite3_native.bundle: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.7 (2012-02-08 patchlevel 358) [universal-darwin12.0]

I'm confused as to why it says ruby 1.8.7 even though i'm using 1.9.3. Please help me fix this problem. I'm a complete beginner so please keep it simple.

  • are you sure you are using the version you think you are? try a `ruby -v` – ddavison Jun 17 '13 at 18:02

  • Hey, thanks a lot for your response. This is what I get so I'm pretty sure I am using 1.9.3. ("ruby 1.9.3p429"). I followed the steps in the link you posted but that didn't help. Any other idea? Thanks. – megashigger Jun 17 '13 at 18:27
  • how are you including `sqlite3` in your Gemfile? you might have to specify a specific version. `gem 'sqlite3', '~> version.here'`, also, did you do a `bundle install`? Every time you change around your Gemfile, you need to do a `bundle install` – ddavison Jun 17 '13 at 18:33
  • which solution worked? i'll have an answer so we can accept and close this question. was it the `bundle install` ? – ddavison Jun 17 '13 at 18:43
  • it was the the 'bundle install' that worked. – megashigger Jun 17 '13 at 18:57

you probably didn't bundle your gem before running your server. Try 

bundle install

then run rails s
