Do you intend to use SQLite inside the Dropbox folder once you’ve got it
working? That’s only safe if only one person is using the database at a time,
and you wait for the sync to finish before trying to use the DB on another
machine.
If you need a networked DBMS, SQLite is generally not what you want, at least
not as-stock. There are add-ons and alternatives that work far better for
this. Google “SQLite Dropbox”. It’s come up many times before.

Try this:
$ ./configure --prefix="$HOME/sqlite3"
That will allow the “make install” to work without root privileges. The
sqlite3 binary would land in $HOME/sqlite3/bin, with that configuration option.
You can set the prefix to somewhere under your Dropbox folder if you’re willing
to take the risks to data safety that that entails.
