If you gunzip the above file, it will result in sqlite3-3.6.17-osx-x86.bin. This is the sqlite3 shell program. If you set its executable bit with 'chmod +x', you can run this file and get sqlite3. However, on a Mac you don't really want this. Just download the source code at http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.17.tar.gz, gunzip it, run make, make install, and it will install all the bits and bobs for you in the right place. > Thanks in advance. > > Matt > > -- > > Matt Stiles > Reporter, Texas Tribune <http://www.texastribune.org> > Email: msti...@texastribune.org > Mobile: 512.965.5197 > [image: Youtube] <http://www.youtube.com/mattstiles>[image: > Facebook]<http://www.facebook.com/mattstiles>[image: > Twitter] <http://www.twitter.com/matt_stiles> > _______________________________________________ > sqlite-users mailing list > sqlite-users@sqlite.org > http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users > -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= Sent from Madison, WI, United States _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
