No, the problem is Ruby itself.

C:\Users\Luis> irb
irb(main):001:0>  require 'rbconfig'
=>  true
irb(main):002:0>  RbConfig::CONFIG['DLEXT']
=>  "so"
irb(main):003:0>  RbConfig::CONFIG['DLEXT2']
=>  "dll"

DLEXT is used to identify Ruby C extensions.

Since you're CD'ing from Ruby\bin, it's finding 'sqlite3.dll' and
think it is an extension. See this:

C:\Users\Luis> cd Tools\bin

C:\Users\Luis\Tools\bin> dir sqlite*.*
 Volume in drive C is Windows7
 Volume Serial Number is 50BD-564E

 Directory of C:\Users\Luis\Tools\bin

C:\Users\Luis\Tools\bin> irb
irb(main):001:0>  require 'sqlite3'
LoadError: 127: The specified procedure could not be found.   -
Init_sqlite3
./sqlite3.dll
        from ./sqlite3.dll
        from (irb):1

Now, please try doing the require OUTSIDE Ruby\bin folder.

Also, since you installed sqlite3 as a gem, please require rubygems
first:

require 'rubygems'
require 'sqlite3'
