The embedded SQLite  Libgda uses is patched a bit because SQLite does not by
default allow one to get some meta data.

Also, the configure script tries to find a system SQLite which may be
correctly compiled (this was asked by distrib. packagers which don't like
packages embedding other packages, mainly for security reasons). However
using a system SQLite was never fully tested and one of the reasons it was
not tested is that normally the configure script, even if it found a sqlite3
library would discard it as not suitable (because it needs an SQLite which
is compiled with the SQLITE_ENABLE_COLUMN_METADATA flags and in which the
sqlite3CreateFunc symbol is accessible, which is generally not the case). I
wonder how you managed to compile SQLite so it exports the sqlite3CreateFunc
symbol.

What I can do is make the necessary corrections in Libgda's code and release
a 4.0.2 version (which will also have other bug corrections).
