Thank you for your fast answer, but my problem still exists after I followed your instructions.
Firstly I removed the default sqlite3 using sudo apt-get remove sqlite3 command. After that I moved to the sqlite-3.6.13 folder which was extracted from sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.13.tar.gz and executed the 3 commands: ../configure --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install I did check the PATH variable and It did contain /usr/local/bin. However, when I entered sqlite3 the output was still 3.4.2 The weird thing is that, after executing all of these above commands, and then sudo apt-get remove sqlite3, I got the following message: Package sqlite3 is not installed, so not removed I can't understand what's going on. --- On Sun, 5/3/09, Derrell Lipman <derrell.lip...@unwireduniverse.com> wrote: From: Derrell Lipman <derrell.lip...@unwireduniverse.com> Subject: Re: [sqlite] [newbie] How to upgrade sqlite3 in Ubuntu?

You should look at where it installed (re-run ../configure and look at its output, which should tell you where it will install to. For Ubuntu, you almost certainly want it to install into /usr/local with the executable going into /usr/local/bin. If it chose some path other than /usr/local, you probably want to remove it from wherever it installed to. Next, remove the Ubuntu-provided version of sqlite3 since you won't need it any longer: sudo apt-get remove sqlite3 Now rerun configure like this, to specify the install prefix, and then rebuild and reinstall: ../configure --prefix=/usr/local make sudo make install If you're running csh type "rehash" to rescan your path. Ensure that /usr/local/bin is in your path: echo $PATH If not, add /usr/local/bin to your path (typically before /usr/bin in the list) in your shell start-up file. You can also type "which sqlite3" to see which version your shell is finding first in the PATH.
