LinuxQuestions.org - beagle build says that sqlite is missing

I downloaded the official mono generic installer from the mono web site, and it installed correctly. Then I downloaded the beagle source tarball from the beagle web site. But when I run ./configure I get this error (I'm only including here the relevant output related to the error message):

Code:

checking for SQLITE... Package sqlite was not found in the pkg-config search path.

Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sqlite.pc'

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

No package 'sqlite' found

configure: error: You need to install sqlite2

I checked out in synaptic and the sqlite package is installed. I am using Debian Sarge with kernel 2.6.8-2-686. I downloaded Mono version 1.1.10_1 and the beagle version I'm trying to compile is 0.1.2.

Please, help me. Any ideas?
