You need the sqlite-devel packages.

The problem relates to the way mono maps dll import calls to .so files.
There is no nice way to say "make a ImportDLL (or DLLImport, I forget)
look for sqlite-x.so.y.z".  Right now it just looks for "sqlite-x.so",
and *.so files are only included in Fedora -devel rpm's.

Thre is of course an /etc/mono/config file of some sort that lets you
manually change the mapping, but it is not setup in a way that is
friendly to RPM maintainers...there was some discussion on the mono list
about this, but I don't know when a better solution will show up.
