On which Operating System are you working? Useful to mention in such cases of OS dependent installation problems. In case it would be a Debian derived GNU/Linux box (e.g. Ubuntu), my standard approach is this: * almost always, it is the xxxx-dev package you are missing * find the context with apt-cache search 'xxxx*' | grep dev * then check if installed (with dpkg -l 'xxxx*') * then check which files are in there (with dpkg -L <package name>) So I found quickly that the sqlite3.h file (that you seem to be missing), is in the package libsqlite3-dev (as expected actually).
