for now, i tried forcing sqlite to use the lower version

sudo gem install sqlite3 -v 1.3.11

before mailcatcher installation.

Hi Rai!

It is the first time I am asking a question in relation with a GitHub issue.
I am unsure if this feed is the best place to do it, but I am not familiar with GitHub yet. Feel free to let me know if there is a better place for it.

First, thank you for your workaround! It helped me get unstuck and have mailcatcher running.

However, I am brand new to development and do not really understand what is going wrong here.
My error message is slightly different than yours:
cannot load such file -- sqlite3/sqlite3_native (LoadError)
but also mentions an error relative to sqlite3 version.

I am running a standalone Docker container using the ruby:2.7-buster official image.
Just like you, I need to force the sqlite version before I can run mailcatcher. I would like to understand why.

Do you know why we need this additional step?

Thank you,

Isabelle
