Sqlite libsqlite3.so.0 Not Found

I’m trying to get sqlite3 to work on ubuntu linux. I first tried to download sqlite3 but was given an error about multiple versions. I then deleted libsqlite3.so.0 and another counterpart to that using gksudo natalie, which was recommended. I then reinstalled the two rpm files…I now have eight of them and the whole thing is blowing up and I’m frustrated and tired. Is there anyone who can tell me how to clean install the entire thing, sqlite3, rpms and all? I’ve just about had it. This is the error I’m getting now.

sqlite3 mydatabase.db
sqlite3: error while loading shared libraries: libsqlite3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

WARNING – Purging packages can be risky. You might try install before purging/install.

You might be using a different version of Ubuntu but chances are this will work http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1883976

sudo apt-get purge sqlite3 sqlite3-doc libsqlite3-0

sudo apt-get install sqlite3 sqlite3-doc

if you can use a terminal this should be fast and easy.
