Hello Lloyd, you mean the sqlite3 command-line utility? Well, if all else fails, try it with a small script that you can put in a directory within your path: --------------------------- # Run command-line utility sqlite3 # export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/install/dir/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=/your/install/dir/bin:$PATH sqlite3 --------------------------- (Store this in a convenient file like "mysqlite" and use: chmod +x mysqlite to make it executable) The environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH are changed locally. So as soon as you leave the utility and thus the script, you go back to the original environment. Regards, Arjen
