I've run into this kind of issue with another IDE, not dealing with SQLite. The issue came down to package/code/something-or-other that was once upon a time on an old installation of the IDE that I ported in then, but now, after a fresh install of the same IDE, it wouldn't work. My only resolution was, since I had the source code, was rebuild the projects links together by including the source code, crossing my fingers, toes, put my finger over the enter key, and close my eyes and hope no smoke and fire happened when I hit the "GO" key.
But as Simon mentions, and as a bit of a clarification, SQLite does come with source code. Whatever package you are attempting to install might state that it 'installs sqlite' but that might be just something pre-built for whatever the package may be, and allow your code to build without requiring the SQLite[2/3/4].dll, or it might be something specifically for your IDE. SQLite has no direct responsibilities to your IDE, but whatever that package is, relies on some kind of SQLite code or provided binaries.
