  1. sudo -s
  2. export ARCHFLAGS='-arch x86_64'
  3. export PATH=/Library/PostgreSQL/9.1/bin:${PATH}
  4. gem install pg

I ran into almost exactly this problem (Snow Leopard, Ruby1.9.2-p0, RVM, Rails 3.1.0rc4, with developer tools installed), and resolved it by upgrading to a newer patch level of Ruby.

Using RVM, you'd write:

rvm upgrade ruby-1.9.2-p180 ruby-1.9.2-p0

(180 is the current patch, but there might be a newer one when you try this. Use the stable release version named here: http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/)

Use 'sudo bundle install' since native extensions try to write in system directories.

Try:

gem "sqlite-ruby", "~> 1.3.1"

You may be having issues because you're on Ruby 1.9. This gem is said to work with 1.9:

You are missing some libraries on your system related to sqlite. This is a common problem with gems that depend on libraries which should be installed on your computer. try installing libsqlite3-dev.
