When a Perl module says it needs X version of a module, it means X or later.  So 
you should only be attempting with DBI 1.623 and not with an older DBI version. 
  You already said DBI 1.623 compiled and installed properly, so stick with that 
and don't try to do DBI 1.57.  If DBI is actually installed (you did "make 
install") then the latest DBD::SQLite should work; if it doesn't then that's a 
separate problem. -- Darren Duncan
