Just learning Linux. Got my first vibe/dub project which dies at:

Compiling diet template 'index.dt'...
Linking...
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lsqlite3
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status


I downloaded DUB's d2sqlite3 and built it fine.
I've got sqlite3 on my system by default (came with Xununtu) I even tried:

$ sudo apt-get install sqlite3
[sudo] password for generic:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
sqlite3 is already the newest version (3.11.0-1ubuntu1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Aren't we trying to link to the sqlite3 a library?  So that would mean either a sqlite3.a or sqlite3.so file?  However, since this is a link time problem, it must be the sqlite3.so we want. Right?

I did a system wide search for sqlite3 and I come up only with libd2sqlite3.a?

The dependencies in my dub project file looks like:

dependency  "vibe-d" version="~>0.7.26"
dependency  "d2sqlite3" version="~>0.7.3"



Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You need to install sqlite3, or download and build it yourself, to get libsqlite3.a. I don't use Ubuntu so not sure of the package but you will be able to "apt-get install libsqlite3" or something similar.

I'm just guessing, but try install sqlite3-devel too

You need *-dev package probabily. Something like:

sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

I had the same issue when building Button with dub on Ubuntu 16.04. My hack was to create the following symlink to the already existing libsqlite3.so.0:

  sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsqlite3.so.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsqlite3.so

Some time ago Debian (and therefore Ubuntu as well) moved the unversioned .so symlinks into the -dev packages. This means you'll always need the -dev packages now when linking with a C library, even if you only use the dynamic library.
