An earlier reply of me got lost, probably something to do with sending 
it while tethered to a phone.

Most of the database headers have a way of overriding names from code, 
without recompiling FPC/Lazarus, this has been done to improve the 
longevity of FPC releases if things change in some new linux 
distribution(version)

Try to

-  include unit sqlite3dyn in your main (.lpr) program.

- as the first line of your .lpr (or at least before the application.* 
commands) add

tryinitializesqlite('libsqlite3.so.0');

Rinse, repeat, retry.
