I had a problem with use of arrow keys in sqlite3 on Mac OS 10.6. I downloaded sqlite-autoconf-3080403.tar.gz. I did 

./configure
make
sudo make install

Though the new sqlite3 wasn't configured by my machine and I deleted the old sqlite3 in /usr/bin/sqlite3 and moved the new one.

Then when I did

sqlite3

I got this message:

error: '/usr/bin/.libs/sqlite3' does not exist
This script is just a wrapper for sqlite3.
See the libtool documentation for more information

Then I tried to upgrade sqlite using brew but maybe it was too late by then because I still get the same error msg. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance!

BTW I can use sqlite3 when I'm in the decompressed sqlite-autoconf folder.

I solved my own question by typing this command into the Terminal:

$ export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/sqlite:/usr/local/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin

I found these articles helpful:

Installed sqlite3 v3.8, but mac terminal still runs old version 3.6 by default

Brew doctor says: "Warning: /usr/local/include isn't writable."

In my clumsy experience, don't ever do:

rm /usr/bin/sqlite3

Instead use brew if you are using Mac OS.
