Right, now we're getting somewhere:

[root at dude ~]# python
Python 2.4.1 (#1, May 16 2005, 15:19:29)
[GCC 4.0.0 20050512 (Red Hat 4.0.0-5)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import sqlite
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
   File 
"/usr/src/build/539311-i386/install//usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/sqlite/__init__.py", 
line 1, in ?
ImportError: /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_sqlite.so: undefined 
symbol: sqlite3_libversion

That's a more meaty error message!

Does that tell you anything?
