Important edit: it think that the issue might come from the fact that I'm using a Mac that uses an Arm64 processor. However, I'm not entirely sure since I don't know what that means.

I'm trying to use lua sqlite within love2D. I'm not sure how exactly to phrase this, but I should clarify that I'm trying to make it work specifically with love2d so that I can distribute it without anyone needing to install everything on their end. But i was led to this file by the official website. I followed the instructions and copied it into my project folder, required it with local sqlite3 = require("sqlite3") (this is the main.lua:3 referenced in the error message) only for it to give this error message when attempting to load love:

Error

Traceback

At this point, all that I have in my main.lua file is

local love = require "love"

local sqlite3 = require("sqlite3")

local db = sqlite3.open("Normal_Translations.db")

so I have to assume it's an issue with requiring sqlite3

This is my first time trying to do something like this, so I'm unsure what it means or how I can fix it. What can I do to prevent this issue from happening?

looking at the error message leads me to these lines from the lsqlite3.lua file:

--require the dll/so
sqlite3 = require("lsqlite3");

and

init();

which just seems to call the function the first line was within

  • It looks like you might have an older version of Love2D installed. Support for arm64 was added in Love2D v11.4; the most recent version is v11.5. What version are you using? If you just recently installed Love2D, maybe you grabbed the wrong tarball. Commented Oct 1 at 2:38
  • according to love.getVersion I have v11.5.0. Love also runs fine normally, so I believe it the issue is something related to the sqlite thing (since it fails once I add that in) I just don't know what it is. Commented Oct 1 at 2:54
  • The error message says that you have lsqlite3.so for x86, but need arm64. How did you install lsqlite3.so? Is it possible that you installed a Linux tarball? Commented Oct 1 at 2:59
  • Looking through, I actually didn't install lsqlite3.so myself. I only downloaded the original sqlite3.lua from the github page (and added it to my project folder). However, when I try to run the code in love2d, it actually created a new folder in my project folder named "users" which eventually leads to the lsqlite3.so file. the actual path is /Users/(name)/Documents/code/luasqlite test/Users/(name)/Library/Application Support/LOVE/luasqlite test/plugins/sqlite3, and there's nothing else in the folder.

  • Maybe try find / -name "lsqlite.so" in a terminal to see if you can locate the library file. Commented Oct 1 at 3:17
