You don't need root access to build and install it under your home directory. i do have root access on all of my machines but have never once used it to install fossil (which is installed on all of my machines): that's what `~/bin`, `~/lib`, etc. are for.

For sqlite, the process is something like:

```
$ tar xzf the-sqlite3-sources.tar.gz
$ cd the-sqlite3-dir
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME
$ make
$ make install
```

That will install everything under directories in the "prefix", e.g. the binary will go under `~/bin`.
