Error building Linux Mint - cannot find sqlite3

[davidpbrown]

I'm getting this error below and for searching cannot see a way through it.
sqlite3 is installed and working fine.

I cannot see sqlite3.pc or similar and I'm not familiar with those .pc files then to know an obvious answer.

Curious that majkcramer commented in May on the other issue that he's been successful in Linux.. I tried building only this from git clone too but same error.

I'm using Cargo build; unsure what the rustc equivalent to Cargo.toml is to try rustc but I would expect the same error perhaps will follow from that too.

sqlite3.pc is the configuration file that should be installed so you can use pkg-config to figure out where the headers / library files are located. I haven't used Linux Mint, but I know on some systems, you have to install a -dev version of the sqlite package to get the headers and .pc file (e.g., libsqlite3-dev on Debian). Does it look like there's an equivalent on Mint?

[davidpbrown]

Yes.. it needed libsqlite3-dev .. thanks!

@jgallagher I have the same problem on osx el.

I've installed pkg-config and sqlite3 with homebrew.

Ok, use PKG_CONFIG_PATH=echo /usr/local/Cellar/sqlite/*/lib/pkgconfig/ cargo build can build success.

@doabit thanks! PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(echo /usr/local/Cellar/sqlite/3.9.1/lib/pkgconfig/) cargo run works for me
