problems installing lich

[Raulin]

I've tried walking through the steps listed several times. I am having difficulties installing lich, I get to where I am to install sqlite3 and it keeps wanting that over and over... ANy thoughts? running windows 7

There is some moment when installing ruby when you have to select which file extensions you want it to recognize and open. Make sure they are all checked. That was what I had trouble with last time I did a full install.

Nice, thank you.

If it keeps asking you to install sqlite3, then it's failing to install sqlite3. This usually happens if you install the wrong version of Ruby.

Thanks for the latest (.15 I believe) update to lich btw Tillmen. Works much smoother on my Win 7 rig. Gonna test out the Win 8 one soon.

I am having this same problem, tried uninstalling ruby, and reinstalling Ruby 2.0.0-p634 as suggested. I still get the SQL3lite install loop same as OP. I am on windows 7 64bit, but installing with 32bit ruby 2.0 as suggested. Not sure what else to try? even tried installing SQL3lite seperately.

Open a command prompt as administrator (click on the start button, type cmd.exe into the search field, right-click on cmd.exe in the search results, click "Run as administrator")

Type
c:\ruby200\bin\ruby.exe -v
and hit enter.

Type
c:\ruby200\bin\gem.bat install sqlite3 --source http://rubygems.org --no-ri --no-rdoc
and hit enter.

copy/paste the results here (right-click, click select all, hit enter, paste here)

It worked! That is really odd that the installers were not working, is that a Ruby issue?

Anyways, so far so good. Thank you! Also not sure if this is related but on bootup:

--- Lich: autoaccept has exited.
--- Lich: enchantnotes active.
--- Lich: error: cannot load such file -- ftools
C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'
C:/Ruby200/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:55:in `require'

But so far as I can tell its not affecting anything.

I'm not sure why sqlite installed when you did it manually but not when Lich tried to do it. It's the same command. Probably another UAC thing.

I think that error from enchantnotes can be fixed by downloading an update to the script.
