issues with rails on EC2 when calling 'build install'

Just finished spinning an instance of EC2 on amazon and installed rails and ruby. When I tried to call bundle install however, I am getting the following error:

Installing sqlite3 (1.3.3) with native extensions /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:551:in `build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to bui                                                            ld gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

sqlite3.h is missing. Try 'port install sqlite3 +universal'
or 'yum install sqlite3-devel' and check your shared library search path (the
location where your sqlite3 shared library is located).

Could not create Makefile due to some reason, probably lack of

yes I have run 'yum install sqlite3-devel'.

Maybe also try:

yum install sqlite3
yum install ruby-devel

I had the same issue. Thanks to this forum entry, I figured it out: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=22116

You've got to:

sudo yum install make sudo yum install gcc

Surprisingly, they are not standard in AWS AMI. I was on a wild goose chase, trying to solve the problem by making sqlite3.h available, but it was a more basic problem all along. Both make and gcc were missing. Hope that also helps your case.
