If I remember correctly, the reason for the requirement are three SQLite bugs that are otherwise triggered by S3QL: http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/c39ff61c43 http://www.sqlite.org/src/info/51914f6acd2cb462 http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/tktview?tn=3992 You could try backporting these fixes to SQLite 3.6. Alternatively, you could also try to link s3ql and apsw statically against a new SQlite 3.7, and keep the system-wide dynamic SQLite 3.6 library untouched. This will require some adjustments to S3QL's setup.py, for apsw it's already supported (you just have to figure out the correct parameters for its setup.py).
