How do I fix my sqlite version mess so that I can have multiple

With an up to date yum install, FC5 default SQlite is 3.3.3
You can clean up thethings in the following way.
Instaed of using /usr/local for prefix when configuring a sqlite build
you could pass:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sqlite-3.3.6 (for 3.3.6 version)
This will install each of your multiple sqlite versions (except de
default used by yum) in its own envronment.
To build an application with a particular sqlite build, you'll have to
add, ie for PHP 5.1.4:
--with-sqlite=/usr/local/sqlite-3.3.6
--with-pdo-sqlite=/usr/local/sqlite-3.3.6
As PHP configuration system uses the --rpath which tells the binaries
the full path of used libraries, this will work.
For applications where you're not sure --rpath is used, you can add it
to configure options.
I have one more question about this. If I specify --with-tcl in this
configuration, won't the tcl installer script wipe out the Fedora Core
installed system TCL configuration (for sqlite 3.3.3) and replace it
with my customized configuration (for 3.3.6?) Wouldn't this be an
unintended (and perhaps unwanted) effect of compiling with TCL support?
To preserve the current, system-installed TCL support for sqlite 3.3.3
I'm passing --disable-tcl to configure.
