Check that you have gcc installed. This error comes up if it is not installed, because of the method they use to check the existence of sqlite3.h: They simply try to compile this one-line program:
#include <sqlite3.h> If the compilation fails, they tell you that sqlite3.h is missing, but the compilation will also fail if gcc is not present. It's not a very smart check...
