now, why would you want that? If they were all the same, then why have three versions? Think about that. Would you want three identical copies of iTunes on your computer? No? well, then why have three identical copies of SQLite? As I said earlier, you have taken a very difficult route to accomplish a very simple thing. Your computer comes with a version that is in /usr/bin. My suggestion -- leave that alone and don't tinker with it. You install your own version in /usr/local (the binary in /usr/local/bin, the libs in /usr/local/lib and so on). It will take less time to do that than all the back and forth on email lists. Also, don't mess with macports and fink unless you really have to as they are usually more grief than worth it (but, you already have messed with them, so can't unwind that). You are using bash. Just type 'setting bash path' in Google and look up the answer. You should know that anyway -- it is useful knowledge. While at it, learn up on the role of the .bashrc and .bash_profile files as well. Very useful. The whole exercise will take about 15 to 20 mins including all the downloading, installing and learning about bash.
