How are you trying to compile it?

If you do:

python scons/scons.py -h

You'll see the at the bottom, the instructions for how to build it  
(which is not enabled by default since it is experimental) which are:

python scons/scons.py PGSQL2SQLITE=True

You can ignore the "limit" errors. I'm not sure why you'd get a  
missing column geometry column error if you are properly setting sit  
as "way"
