Yes, it doesn't work as you are checking /usr first, yet it should be pkg-config first (or only).... This is what I get.... configure: checking sqlite library checking sqlite3.h usability... yes checking sqlite3.h presence... yes checking for sqlite3.h... yes checking sqlite library version (via header)... okay checking for sqlite3_close in -lsqlite3... no configure: WARNING: no suitable sqlite found in /usr Because the check for sqlite3_close in -lsqlite3 fails as it doesn't have the extra libraries available to link the test case.
