can't find package sqlite3 - using TCL on Ubuntu
 

Hi,

I am programming with TCL on Ubuntu Linux. I need to access a SQLite3 database. I loaded the SQLite3 package using sudu apt-get install sqlite3. When I try to open the database in TCL I get the error "can't find package sqlite3"

The line of code is: "sqlite3 db /home/lana/CAL_development/databases/CpRoutine.db"

I also have "package require sqlite3" directive in the program.


Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Just because you have installed sqlite doesn't mean you have the tcl package. You might be able to search for tcl and sqlite in apt-get. I think it is in the fedora library but that wont help you to much.

Thanks for the suggestion but installing tcl with apt-get did not help.

"package" usually means /usr/lib/pkgconfig/sqlite3.pc

Or may be a missing 'libsqlite3-tcl' ?

Suggest : sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev libsqlite3-tcl

(Installing the package 'sqlite3' installs only a part of "sqlite")
..

That did it! Thanks so much!!!
