I have problems installing Spatialite tools on OS X Yosemite, first of all I have read Install Spatialite for python (GeoDjango) on OS X but it didn't help me to resolve the issue.
Here I will provide steps that I did in order to install spatialite with Homebrew.
1) Install latest sqlite3
brew install sqlite
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/sqlite-3.8.8.3.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/sqlite-3.8.8.3.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
==> Pouring sqlite-3.8.8.3.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
==> Caveats
This formula is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local.
Mac OS X already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.
OS X provides an older sqlite3.
Generally there are no consequences of this for you. If you build your
own software and it requires this formula, you'll need to add to your
build variables:
LDFLAGS: -L/usr/local/opt/sqlite/lib
CPPFLAGS: -I/usr/local/opt/sqlite/include
==> Summary
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/sqlite/3.8.8.3: 9 files, 2.1M
2) Install libspatialite
brew install libspatialite
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/libspatialite-4.2.0_1.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/libspatialite-4.2.0_1.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
==> Pouring libspatialite-4.2.0_1.yosemite.bottle.tar.gz
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/libspatialite/4.2.0_1: 26 files, 17M
3) Install spatialite-tools
brew install spatialite-tools
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/spatialite-tools-4.2.0.yosemite.bottle.3.tar.gz
Already downloaded: /Library/Caches/Homebrew/spatialite-tools-4.2.0.yosemite.bottle.3.tar.gz
==> Pouring spatialite-tools-4.2.0.yosemite.bottle.3.tar.gz
🍺 /usr/local/Cellar/spatialite-tools/4.2.0: 21 files, 804K
4) Looks good so far, lets try to use spatialite
spatialite -version
SQLite header and source version mismatch
2015-02-25 13:29:11 9d6c1880fb75660bbabd693175579529785f8a6b
2014-12-09 01:34:36 f66f7a17b78ba617acde90fc810107f34f1a1f2e
So it looks like spatialite is built on top of sqlite3 (f66f7a17b78ba617acde90fc810107f34f1a1f2e) but not (9d6c1880fb75660bbabd693175579529785f8a6b)
Current version 3.8.8.3 9d6c1880fb75660bbabd693175579529785f8a6b
Required version 3.8.7.4 f66f7a17b78ba617acde90fc810107f34f1a1f2e
To fix this I need to install manually sqlite 3.8.7.4 instead of 3.8.8.3 which is latest version in homebrew
6) Remove currently installed sqlite
brew remove sqlite
brew unlink sqlite
7) Install sqlite 3.8.7.4
Download tarbal from here https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/f66f7a17b78ba617acde90fc810107f34f1a1f2e and unpack contents
Install with
./configure
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make install
8) Try to create spatialite database
spatialite geo.db "SELECT InitSpatialMetaData();"
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _sqlite3_rtree_geometry_callback
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libspatialite.7.dylib
Expected in: /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.0.dylib
dyld: Symbol not found: _sqlite3_rtree_geometry_callback
Referenced from: /usr/local/lib/libspatialite.7.dylib
Expected in: /usr/local/lib/libsqlite3.0.dylib
Trace/BPT trap: 5
So the issue is that it cannot find _sqlite3_rtree_geometry_callback in a library...
Please point me what I did wrong or if there is a better way to install it on OS X
Thank you for your time
