Lately I've seen several people struggling with an error message like this:

`gem_original_require': no such file to load -- sqlite3/database

This is for the SQLite3 gem but I've seen it also with Capistrano.

The problem is that some files have incorrect permissions in the authors repository and those incorrect permission are replayed by the gem packaging.

The next version of SQLite and Capistrano will solve those problems, the short term fix is just:

$ sudo chmod -R a+r /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems
