Question

I a bit new to sqllite lite and linux commands so any help would be greatly appreciated! Is there something I am missing?

After the sqlite-3.7.3 installation, for some reason I am still still not seeing the new version (sqlite-3.7.3) when checking with

macbook-pro:sqlite-3.7.3 scott$ which sqlite3

/usr/bin/sqlite3

macbook-pro:sqlite-3.7.3 scott$ sqlite3 test.db

SQLite version 3.6.12
Enter “.help” for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a “;”

sqlite> create virtual table vt using fts3();

SQL error: no such module: fts3

sqlite installation dump:

Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the -LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to theDYLD_LIBRARY_PATH’ environment variable
during execution

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for

more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

Where did you install the sqlite3 command and what is your path? Type

echo $PATH

and check whether the dir where the command is located precedes /usr/bin, where SQLite 3.6 is installed. If it doesn’t, change your path in .bashrc.
