compiling sqlite

I have been trying to compile the sqlite.so extenstion to run under PHP. I can download compile and install sqlite from the sqlite.com site. I have also downloaded the SQLite 1.0.2 from the pecl.php.net site. In the README this mentions that it was prepared using version 2.9.11, but the latest source I can get from the sqlite.com site is 2.8.13. I'm still a bit new to all of this, but here is what I have done: download sqlite from sqlite.com download SQLite from pecl.php.net unpack into their own folders [user]$ tar xzvf SQLite-1.0.2.tgz [user]$ tar xzvf sqlite-2.8.13.tar.gz now copy contents from SQLite-1.0.2/libsqlite/src/ into sqlite/src (I THINK THIS IS WHAT THE README TELLS ME TO DO) [user]$ cp SQLite-1.0.2/libsqlite/src/* sqlite/src/ make a directory for the build [user]$ mkdir bld_sqlite [user]$ cd bld_sqlite/ from within that new directory run configure script [user]$ ../sqlite/configure now make [user]$ make now this is the tricky part, the .so and related lib files are in a hidden directory, .lib as root issue the install command [user]$ make install this builds sqlite and the lib files which get installed into the /usr/local/lib directory. When I try to load this .so file in PHP it complains that it is not a valid extension. I have done various searches on google trying to find a tutorial. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
