Error setting up Ruby on Rails

Question

Following this guide, I'm attempting to set up Ruby on Rails using Amazon's EC2. For my instance I've selected "Basic 32-bit Amazon Linux AMI 2010.11.1 Beta". I have ruby, sqlite, and rubygems installed. I'm on step 3.3 of the linked guide which is to run the following command

bundle install

The result is the following. I'm sure I've just missed something, but I'm at a loss. Any suggestions?

Installing sqlite3 (1.3.3) with native extensions /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems    /installer.rb:529:in `build_extensions': ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

/usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb 
mkmf.rb can't find header files for ruby at /usr/lib/ruby/ruby.h

Gem files will remain installed in /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/sqlite3-1.3.3 for inspection.

EDIT: Following the suggestion below to install ruby-devel, I now get this error in addition to the original one.

Installing sqlite3 (1.3.3) with native extensions /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/installer.rb:529:in `build_extensions': 
ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError)

    /usr/bin/ruby extconf.rb 
checking for sqlite3.h... no
sqlite3.h is missing. Try 'port install sqlite3 +universal'
or 'yum install sqlite3-devel' and check your shared library search path (the
location where your sqlite3 shared library is located).

But when I try to run

yum install sqlite-devel

I'm told:

Package sqlite-devel-3.6.20-1.6.amzn1.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

did you fix this issue? I am having the same exact issue when trying to configure this on AWS — aherlambang

In addition to the packages above, mas sure you have gcc and make installed.

They are needed to build the gems you are installing in addition to the development libraries.
