[GRASS-user] How to fix sqlite3.dll error in winGRASS

[Margherita Di Leo]

Hi Michael,

I have a message to you from Sandro Furieri ;-)

=====

Hi Michael,

the one experienced by your student seems to be the most classic
"Windows DLL hell" issue.
The most probable cause accounting for this error is that some
SQLite's DLL of mismatching version (a really obsolete one) is
already installed somewhere on the student's own PC.

Rules dictating from where a DLL is actually loaded are rather
confused on Windows; you can eventually try to learn more from
here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-**us/library/windows/desktop/**
ms682586%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#**search_order_for_desktop_**applications<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#search_order_for_desktop_applications>

usually removing any previous installation of Grass (QGIS and alike),
then carefully removing any libsqlite*.dll you'll eventually find,
and finally re-installing yet another time GRASS would (hopefully)
resolve any DLL-related issue/oddity.
