Install SQLite, perhaps? If the pysqlite build process can't find
sqlite3.h then you either don't have SQLite installed, or you don't
have the headers for SQLite installed. I'd recommend that you check
your installed packages for the SQLite libraries (eg. libsqlite3-0 on
Ubuntu) and/or the user interface (eg. sqlite3) and for the
development package (eg. libsqlite3-dev).

If you can't install the packages, install SQLite from source (see
http://www.sqlite.org/) and try and persuade pysqlite to use your own
SQLite installation - there's a setup.cfg file in the pysqlite
distribution which may need to be changed to achieve this, but I don't
know how that interacts with setuptools.
