[SOLVED] linux: can not load libsqlite3.so check your installation lazarus / 16-Databases ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hy · 2014-10-05 11:03 When connecting a TSQLite3Connection I get the error Can not load libsqlite3.so check your installation Where do I get the file SQLite3.so and where should I put it? Thanks in advance [Edit:] I have installed sqlite3 and other applications are using SQLite3 Database-files [Edit 2] When running the demo ../examples/database/image_mushrooms I get a similar message on firebird: Can not load default firebird clients ("libfbclient.so.2.5", or libgds.so or libfbembed.so.2.5) check your installation. Note: Firebird is installed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Leledumbo · 2014-10-05 16:35 QuoteNote: Firebird is installedDoesn't automatically mean you have the required client libraries (as written in the error messages) installed and accessible. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- minesadorada · 2014-10-05 18:18 Quote from: hy on October 05, 2014, 01:03:57 pmWhen connecting a TSQLite3Connection I get the error Can not load libsqlite3.so check your installation Where do I get the file SQLite3.so and where should I put it?

Note: Firebird is installed I hardly know linux, so this may be wrong... With Linux Mint Cinammon 64-bit, I got the Lazarus SQLite3 connection working only after I installed the packages: libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev libsqlite3-0:i386 I have no idea if this would be relevant to your situation - I'm just passing on the info.  As for where they installed to... I have no idea. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- hy · 2014-10-05 19:23 Ok, I got it working now. Firebird worked after a reinstall ... never used it before so probably something was missing. sqlite worked after installing libsqlite3-dev (which pulled in libsqlite3-0:i386 automagically) Thanks  minesadorada and leledumbo for helping ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6Black6Cat6 · 2015-01-13 06:34 Just some info about this problem: libsqlite3-0 package installing libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 file and makes link to it named libsqlite3.so.0 That's the reason of missing libsqlite3.so libsqlite3-dev makes link to libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 named libsqlite3.so
