well that was fast!

what i did was download the sqlite3-pcre from ubuntu here:
http://mirror.corbina.net/pub/Linux/ubuntu/pool/universe/s/sqlite3-pcre/
(i needed the amd64)

then since it was a deb file:
dpkg -i sqlite3-pcre_0~git20070120091816+4229ecc-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

in sqlite you simply:
.load /usr/lib/sqlite3/pcre.so

and it all works!
