What you should do next depends on what you want to do next. Do you want to just use the sqlite database from the command line as is? In that case, do what Simon told you in a different email, that is, use the sqlite version that comes with the operating system. You can find it at /usr/bin/sqlite3 and its header files under /usr/include If you want to tinker with the sqlite source code, tweak the compile time settings, or just want the latest version, then, make sure you have the developer tools installed (Xcode), then go into your folder that you downloaded above and type sqlite-src % ./configure sqlite-src % make sqlite-src % sudo make install The above three commands will build a new version of sqlite and install it under /usr/local/ Then, make sure that /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin in your search path and fire up /usr/local/bin/sqlite3 and have fun. -- Puneet Kishor http://www.punkish.org Carbon Model http://carbonmodel.org Charter Member, Open Source Geospatial Foundation http://www.osgeo.org Science Commons Fellow, http://sciencecommons.org/about/whoweare/kishor Nelson Institute, UW-Madison http://www.nelson.wisc.edu ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Assertions are politics; backing up assertions with evidence is science ======================================================================= Sent from Madison, WI, United States _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
