Trouble installing Ruby mongrel/mysql/passenger on CentOS

I'm trying to install RubyOnRails, I'm at the point of installing the gem modules mongrel, mysql and passenger
Running
gem install mongrel
Returns

Code:

Ruby-1.9.2p136 : May be not OK for the gem packages ?
Fedora 14 has ruby-1.8.7.302.
The upcoming Fedora 15 has currently 1.8.7.330.

How about installing ' el5 ' packages ? CentOS 5 has ruby-1.8.5 :

1) # yum search <name> ( or part of name.)

2) # yum install ruby-mysql rubygem-rails rubygem-mongrel <etc.> <etc.>
3) # gem install passenger

The base repo will supply nine ruby packages. The EPEL repo : 60 packages.
Then you are sure to get packages that work on CentOS 5.

OK so I got rails/passenger etc. working with the latest versions but I'm now having difficulty getting the SQLite3 gem installed.
When I first tried installing it I got an error about not having the latest version so I downloaded the latest version and manually compiled it to /root/sqlite (And chmod'd/chown'd appropriately) then tried to install with
gem install sqlite3-ruby -- --with-sqlite3-dir=/root/sqlite
But now I'm getting the error

Code:

OK, Debian Sid ( x86_64 ) has 'ruby-1.9.1' ( from ruby1.9.1_1.9.2.0.orig.tar.gz)
.. and I can try out some stuff :

# apt-get install mongrel libsqlite3-ruby1.9.1
# gem install sqlite3

No problems with this Ruby 1.9.1**, may be you just need a "stable" version ?

I'm on CentOS/Redhat so I can't use Debian packages and both Ruby and SQLITE3 are the latest stable versions

The stable ruby 1.9.2p136 is stable in the way that you can use it,
when you write a new ruby application using the new included features.
But it may not work with all current ruby 'gems' / ruby applications ?
And : If you are not writing any ruby, an older version will do.

The reason to show the Debian [ruby1.9.1_1.9.2.0.orig.tar.gz] is
just to let you know a version, that works with all the old gems, etc.
Basically a '1.9.1', but with features from '1.9.2' included.
The 27 required patches : [ruby1.9.1_1.9.2.0-2.debian.tar.gz]

Ruby/Rails/Gems are installed successfully, the problem was with SQLite not ruby. Thanks for your help everyone but all I needed was to roll back to an older version of SQLite that was compatible with the gem.
