Searching for program: No such file or directory, sqlite3

[Bullish-Design]

I had ekg up and running on a previous init.el file, and then decided to "start fresh". Clean ubuntu install (on wsl2) clean build of emacs 29.1. Trying to open ekg gives a "Searching for program: No such file or directory, sqlite3" error. Everything was installed via straight.el from the get go.

I'm able to open the triples.db file via "sqlite-mode-open-file", which is extra odd.

I'm not even sure where this is stemming from in the EKG package. Any thoughts?

Simple mistake on my part. I somehow skipped over the "apt install sqlite3" during my ubuntu setup script.

Though it does bring up the question - how did the triples database manage to initialize itself, and emacs sqlite-mode-open-file manage to interact with it?

I don't think you should need sqlite3 installed with emacs 29.1, unless you are using an emacs 29.1 that left out sqlite when compiling. So that sounds wrong. I suspect you might be using ekg via emacsql instead of using the built-in sqlite. I'm not sure how that would have happened, though. You can find out by checking the value of triples-sqlite-interface. It should be builtin, but I suspect yours will be emacsql.

You can also try (sqlite-available-p), which should be non-nil for most emacs 29.1. If yours is nil, that would confirm that your emacs was compiled without sqlite.
