1. eusqlite installation on Linux

Merry almost Christmas!

Where does the .so file actually live? /usr/lib/ or /usr/local/lib/? I've got it living in the latter at the moment. The symlink should be created from /usr/lib/ to /usr/local/lib/ - is that correct? Because if it is, my system is choking on that - saying that the file already exists in /usr/local/lib/. Chris maybe you can clear up the instructions on the wiki? TIA...

Generally, /usr/lib is reserved for your package manager, and /usr/local/lib is for the system administrator (presumably, you). Your system should be able to use it from either location, though you may need to run ldconfig or update LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

OK! I'll run ldconfig and see how far I get. Thanks Matt.

Got it working!

Here are the foolproof steps I took to get sqlite3.x working with Euphoria 3.1.1 on a Linux Xubuntu box:

DL sqlite-3.5.4.so
mv sqlite-3.5.4.so /usr/lib/
cd /usr/lib
sudo ln -s sqlite-3.5.4.so sqlite3.so
sudo ldconfig

DL eusqlite3.zip
unzip into a EUINC directory

Hope this helps someone down the road!

Merry Christmas!

Hi

Yes, that's pretty much it!

I'll make the wiki clearer

Essentially the library binary has to be installed in /usr/local/lib (for whatever reason)

The symlink to this (sqlite3.so) goes into /usr/lib

eu programs call the symlink in /usr/lib

Other combinations and locations do not seem to work, I have never understood why this is, but since the above locations worked, I stopped trying to.

Not so on my system :) the library binary physical lives in /usr/lib/

and it works! :)
