#1224: Spatialite version conflict

     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new                            
 Priority:  blocker  |   Milestone:  OSGeoLive7.0                   
Component:  LiveDVD  |    Keywords:  spatialite, qgis, libspatialite
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 We now have on the LiveDVD two versions of libspatialite, both
 libspatialite3 '''and''' libspatialite5. The second is brought in by
 PostGIS, and causes spatialite_gui to use the version 4.1 of the library
 instead of the version 3.1 we had up till recently. This is bad news.

 The botton line in that any DB created in spatialite is '''unreadable by
 QGIS ''' !

 I know we're "5 minutes" before the final build, but this problem will
 really reflect badly on QGIS, SpatiaLite and the LiveDVD.

 Two thoughts for a solution:

 I wonder if the install_spatialite.sh were run in the build process
 '''before''' PostGIS gets installed, then it would compile spatialite_gui
 using the libspatialite3 libraries.

 Alternatively, we could put into the ./configure script for spatialite_gui
 an explicit path to the libspatialite3 *.so rather than depending on
 pkg_config.
 ??

 Any additional thoughts welcome.

 Thanks,
 Micha
