I guess you are working with JMF.
If you got a problem like this, all you have to do is:

1. Copy all .so files FROM /JMF-2.1.1e/lib/ TO /usr/lib with: sudo cp *.so /usr/lib/
   
2. Compile your code :)

Install JMF 2.1.1e in Ubuntu 9.04

1. Download JMF .bin from here, choose
2. Rename the file from .bin to .zip
3. Copy the three .jar files FROM /JMF-2.1.1e/lib/ TO /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/ext/ with this: sudo cp *.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib/ext/
4. Restart, and you got it!.

SQLITE 3.6.22 + Ubuntu

If your need to upgrade to SQLite 3.6.22 I recommend you to get it here: http://www.sqlite.org/sqlite-amalgamation-3.6.22.tar.gz untar it then ./configure and make that's all.

One of the most important improvements on this version is that allows you to use more than one foreign key in a table. Eg:

Instead of:

CREATE TABLE authorISBN (
authorID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
isbn varchar (20) NOT NULL,
fk_authorID INTEGER NOT NULL,
fk_isbn varchar (20) NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (fk_authorID) REFERENCES authors (authorID),
FOREIGN KEY (fk_isbn) REFERENCES titles (isbn)
);

You can write:

CREATE TABLE authorISBN (
authorID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
isbn varchar (20) NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY (authorID) REFERENCES authors (authorID),
FOREIGN KEY (isbn) REFERENCES titles (isbn)
);
