Yes, it is a huge hassle. And it has already been removed. Beginning with version 3.7.0, SQLite requires posix threads if you want to use it in a multi-threaded environment on unix. LinuxThreads is not an acceptable substitute. Of course, you can still take the sensible approach and avoid multithreading all together. Failing that, SQLite should still work on LinuxThreads if you avoid passing database connections from one thread to another. D.
