The problem here is that you have a custom version of sqlite3 in / usr/ local, not compiled for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures, and picked by the linker since the Foundation system relies on it.

The MacRuby build system looks in /usr/local/lib in priority because it's where the LLVM stuff is installed by default.

I recommend to temporarily rename the library in /usr/local/lib and try again.

I moved the alias and everything seems fine now. Thanks!

I realize this probably isn't necessarily the best place to ask, but do you happen to know if there was something I could've done during the sqlite3 installation so the library would've been compiled as the MacRuby installation needs it? If not, I'll see about posting to a sqlite3 forum.

The linker complained because your sqlite3 binary was not built as universal, and MacRuby wants universal dependencies. But it's not a problem in your side, and it would have been a bad idea to link against that specific version of sqlite3. It's way safer to let the linker use the system version of sqlite3, because Foundation might rely on behavior that only exists in that copy. If more people experience this problem I might try to hack the project's build system to work-around that issue in an automatic fashion. Laurent
