I ran into a problem running the Django test suite with spatialite and
found this solution [http://www.eduardmartinez.es/2015/11/unable-to-load-
spatialite-library.html on the blogosphere] which worked for me:
If you updated recently to the last ubuntu version (15.10) and you're
getting this error or similar:
{{{
Unable to load the SpatiaLite library extension "libspatialite.so.7"
because: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libspatialite.so.7: undefined symbol:
sqlite3_spatialite_init
}}}
You can fix it adding this line to your settings.py file:
`SPATIALITE_LIBRARY_PATH = 'mod_spatialite' `
... and installing a package: `sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-mod-
spatialite `
Is the situation the same on newer versions of Debian? Is this something
we should recommend?
