1. Get sqlite3 from http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-3.6.4.tar.gz 2. build and install sqlite3 (./configure --prefix=/any/writeable/dir && make install) -- you may want to supply the --disable-tcl flag if you hit permission problems 3. get pysqlite3, edit setup.cfg libraries and include lines to point to the lib/ and include/ dir where you installed sqlite3 in the previous step 4. python setup.py install --home=somewhere 5. PYTHONPATH=somewhere ./python -- import pysqlite2 should work for you -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
