Description

I ran into a problem running the Django test suite with spatialite and found this solution ​on the blogosphere which worked for me:

If you updated recently to the last ubuntu version (15.10) and you're getting this error or similar:

Unable to load the SpatiaLite library extension "libspatialite.so.7" because: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libspatialite.so.7: undefined symbol: sqlite3_spatialite_init

You can fix it adding this line to your settings.py file: SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH = 'mod_spatialite'
... and installing a package: sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-mod-spatialite

Is the situation the same on newer versions of Debian? Is this something we should recommend?

I don't completely understand it, but it looks like mod_spatialite ​is required for spatialite 4.2+?
