What are sqlite development headers and how to install them?

Question

I am trying to install pysqlite and have troubles with that. I found out that the most probable reason of that is missing sqlite headers and I have to install them.

pysqlite needs to compiled/build before you can use it. This requires C language header files (*.H) which come with the source code of sqllite itself.

i.e. sqllite and pysqlite are two different things. Did you install sqlite prior to trying and build pysqllte ? (or maybe you did, but did you do so just with the binaries; you need the source package (or at least its headers) for pysqlite purposes.
