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

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm pretty sure that *is* documented on the Wiki build pages, or at 
least used to be. I once built on Ubuntu and found that option on the 
Wiki to get it working.

I was lightly following some Wiki Build Instruction discussion on IRC 
recently and I think that very option (with needed dependency) was 
pointed out as not being quite obvious.

Check out the Build on Linux pages (along with the sub-pages about 
dependencies) and read their Talk sections for more current info and 
state of the edits.

Regards,
Adrien
