I think you are ok with easyinstall here. But as Paul said - you need the
sqlite3-headers. Usually, these are in a package called sqlite3-dev or
something.

However, if you happen to have a decent distribution (read: debian-based),
you should be able to install pysqlite2 as a package itself - no need to
easy_install it.
