Hi Kurda,
I have been through this problem. Somebody needs to write a FAQ.
Took me a few days to pinpoint the problem.
Don't know which platform but I assume Linux...
Python depends upon Sqlite... which is weird... but it is what I discovered...
When Python is being built.. it checks for sqlite3.h.. in it's
'configure' script. If it is not there it doesn't provide any support
for it.
Other databases go 'ontop' of the language... so once you install your
compiler/interpretor, you install your database. That is my experience.
Anyway, it is the other way around with sqlite. Install sqlite.. then
build python... then it will all work.....
The trick is having sqlite installed before the 'make configure' step
in the install process.
If you have sophisticated packaging system in your linux... then use that...
Regards
David

You can try downloading sqlite3 from the web and installing it in a
local dir. Update pysqlite setup.cfg to add these local dir names and
then try building it.
-srp
I see the problem. The pysqlite is a package which allows a
communication between the python and sqlite. I try to install the
"pysqlite" but I do not have the "sqlite" on my computer. So, I have
the problem. I tried to find out how to install the sqlite3 but it
seems there are no simple and clear explanations of how to do it. So,
I think I will give up and search for an easier way. Tank you for your
help.
