Answer 1

If you're using Python 2.7.3 on a Red Hat 5 or CentOS 5 machine, there was a bug that prevented the SQLite modules from compiling properly when building Python from source; you should see an error message when running make. It's since been fixed in 2.7.4 so your best option is to upgrade.

If that's not possible, then there's a patch available. Here's the bug page and the patch.
