Good day

I am trying to learn Lua, working through the book examples (Beginning Lua ...) and can't get this program to run successfully from SCITE: here follows the ouput:

>lua5.1 "sqlstddev.lua"
lua5.1: error loading module 'sqlite3' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/sqlite3.so':
/usr/lib/lua/5.1/sqlite3.so: undefined symbol: luaopen_sqlite3
stack traceback:
[C]: ?
[C]: in function 'require'
sqlstddev.lua:1: in main chunk
[C]: ?

Please help.
Thanks
