Can't start Rails Server “sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)” on Debian

Question

I've created a new Rails project using rails new

When I try to start it with rails server I get the following output :

root@debian:/home/marcel/workspaces/rails/sample# rails server /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:in require': cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError) from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/lib/sqlite3.rb:6:inrescue in ' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/sqlite3-1.3.7/lib/sqlite3.rb:2:in <top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:inrequire' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:72:in block (2 levels) in require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:70:ineach' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:70:in block in require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:59:ineach' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:59:in require' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/bundler-1.3.5/lib/bundler.rb:132:inrequire' from /home/marcel/workspaces/rails/sample/config/application.rb:7:in <top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:76:inrequire' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:76:in block in <top (required)>' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:73:intap' from /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/railties-4.0.0/lib/rails/commands.rb:73:in <top (required)>' from bin/rails:4:inrequire' from bin/rails:4:in `'

I'm using

ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27 revision 41674) [x86_64-linux]
Gem 1.8.25
Rails 4.0.0

This is my Gemfile :

source 'https://rubygems.org'

# Bundle edge Rails instead: gem 'rails', github: 'rails/rails'
gem 'rails', '4.0.0'

# Use sqlite3 as the database for Active Record
gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.7'
gem 'sqlite3-ruby', :require => 'sqlite3'

# Use SCSS for stylesheets
gem 'sass-rails', '4.0.0'

# Use Uglifier as compressor for JavaScript assets
gem 'uglifier', '2.1.1'

# Use CoffeeScript for .js.coffee assets and views
gem 'coffee-rails', '4.0.0'

# See https://github.com/sstephenson/execjs#readme for more supported runtimes
# gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby

# Use jquery as the JavaScript library
gem 'jquery-rails', '2.2.1'

What can I do to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

To my knowledge, you don't need the sqlite3-ruby gem.
