Thanks Kimball
Your right about having a little experience. I am
just running into error after error installing apps, but I'm learnoing
slowly. Anyway, I was trying to install the sqlite support for another
application I want to use and as a side issue it seems to have installed
sqlite 3.2.8 correctly for me. It would be good if I could type sqlite3 at
the prompt and it would just start.

Hello Lloyd,
my reply may be a bit too detailed, but I assume you have very little
experience with Linux/UNIX. So bare with me if the explanations are
too basic.
What about /usr/local/lib? That is the usual place for
packages/libraries that
are not part of the operating system.
You can print the current setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH by typing:
echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
on the prompt.
It is a list of directories that the loader/linker will look at in
search
of shared objects. The sqlite3 library must be contained in any of
these.
If you find it in a different directory not listed there, you need to
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/your/new/directory:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or:
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /your/new/directory:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
(Presumably the first, the second form is specific to the C-shell, and
you probably have "bash".)
What directory (the prefix option) did you use for installing
SQLite? That is the directory where the library will live in (or in
the subdirectory "lib" of that directory).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Arjen
