26137	Document steps needed to install spatialite on Ubuntu 15.04+	Tim Graham	nobody	"I ran into a problem running the Django test suite with spatialite and found this solution  [http://www.eduardmartinez.es/2015/11/unable-to-load-spatialite-library.html 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?"	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	dev	Normal	fixed		Claude Paroz	Accepted	1	0	0	0	0	0
