[GNC] Can't "Save As" to sqlite, is it a compile option?

[Derek Atkins]

The SQL backend uses libdbi and that is a compile-time option. However you
need runtime libraries to enable the various SQL backends to work.

Most likely you don't have the appropriate SQLite database drivers
installed.  Search for libdbi-dbd-sqlite and similar.
