  Yes, and no.  While SQLite doesn't have a one-click-to-install
  download, I have to agree that the current build and distribution
  state of SQLite is... let's just say "less than ideal."  I've been
  writing a lot of documentation on just this issue, and unless you
  want a perfect vanilla install, there are definitly a lot of hoops
  you have to jump through compared to most open-source projects of
  similar design.
  
  A few versions ago we transitioned from a traditional UNIX style
  project, complete with "configure" script, to having the amalgimation
  be the "standard" distribution.  I've always felt like that
  transition is imcomplete, and we've never gotten back to where we
  were before.

  The amalgimation works well enough if what you want is mostly
  defaults.  The issue is that, while you can change a few of the
  #defines for numric defaults, most of the more interesting build
  options won't work with the amalgimation.  Only that's it.  As the
  website clearly states, there is no other supported option.  
  no suppored "by the file"
