Is this possible?
First, find out where your system has installed these libraries. By default libsqlite3.so installs in /usr/local/lib, but Linux distributions don't like to put much of anything there. sqlite3 itself installs to /usr/local/bin by default, but again don't assume that's where it's gotten to. The last file you'll need to delete will be sqlite3.h, which by default goes to /usr/local/include. A typical Linux distribution trick is to move these from /usr/local to /usr. Also be aware that if you didn't install the development package, you might not have sqlite3.h, but hunt it out and be sure. If it's installed in /usr/include and you don't delete it, you're going to be in for a rough ride when you try to built SQLite based software. Clay Dowling
