Installing Sqlite 3.6.x on Ubuntu Intrepid

I needed sqlite 3.6 or newer for an application I'm working on but Ubuntu Intrepid has 3.5.9, specifically for Rtree spatial indexes. (In order to build and use  Spatialite.

After weighing my options and doing a little research I noticed that the Jaunty packages barely have any dependencies and they are already met by Intrepid.

So I downloaded:

Steps to follow:

  1. Uninstall libsqlite3-dev 3.5.9
  2. Install libsqlite3 3.6.10
  3. Install libsqlite3-dev 3.6.10
  4. Install sqlite3 3.6.10

To test with python(happens to be what I'm developing with) 

from pysqlite2 import dpapi2 as sqlite3
print sqlite3.sqlite_version
