[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] SQLite installation

[From: Steven Hill]

Hello:

Thanks for your reply. The package installed with no problem using the
application installer in the control panel.  The problem is that when I
followed the instructions in the Wiki, i.e. type 'sqlite3' in Xterm, the
response is that no executable is found.  Shouldn't libraries and
command line executables be somewhere other
than /var/lib/install/usr/...? Probably I don't understand the file
structure of the system well enough - I am very new to Linux...
