For people ending up here through Google, don't do this literally, but the template is very useful and practical.
This specific script was created in 2011, so version 3.7.4 is quite outdated and yes, debian distros have a newer version of sqlite3. However, the sqlite3 that comes with the latest debian is still somewhere between a few months and few years older than the latest available release of sqlite3, so common sense requires one to update the script to download to the latest tar (or whatever newer version they would like).

Installing a packaged version and then
3.7.4withmake installjust does not makes much sense. Especially given most distros ship a newer version than that by now. Also given this copies the library to/usr/libinstead of configuringLIBRARY_PATHandLD_LIBRARY_PATHwhere necessary, will make the linker prefer the manually installed version over the packaged version on most distros, since/usr/libcomes earlier in the default linker paths.
