Can you try just gem install do_sqlite3? If you're getting the "building native extensions" it means that for some reason it's not getting the Windows version of the gem.
Do you have the Visual C/C++ compiler, linker and command line
utilities (like nmake) installed on the Windows box?
If not, you might need to download Windows SDK from M$FT.
You don't need the Visual C compiler. We released a version of do_sqlite3 that's precompiled. I don't know why it's not getting used.-- Yehuda

I'm working on a patch to this issue, based on the raised discussion a
bit back on RubyGems mailing list.

I'm not fond to PATH alteration, since enabling several gems that
alter it will bomb the ENV size limitation (if no extension to it was
enabled).
This is tricky and I'll not like to be hunted by going the easiest
road with it :-)
