As others have mentioned, SQLite 3.40 is already installed as part of Mac OS X and drives half of the applications on the platform. As other have pointed out, you can install the Mac OS X developer tools and compile/make the SQLite source code. In answer to your question about the .bin pre-compiled SQLite command line tool download from the SQLite web site, you need to: 1. Download it. 2. Rename it to "sqlite3" (no .bin extension, which I think shouldn't be there since it's confused with being a MacBinary file). 3. Move it to a location where you want to run it. Somewhere like /usr/ local/bin/sqlite3. Do NOT replace the sqlite3 that is installed in the system /usr/bin/sqlite3. I have a list of SQLite GUI apps for Mac OS X here: http://www.tandb.com.au/sqlite/compare/?ml Tom BareFeet _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list [email protected] http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
