Description

When I try to create new SpatiaLite database (using Layer - New - New SpatiaLite Layer) I get next error after adding a new field: "Unable to initialize SpatialMetadata: no such function: InitSpatialMetadata". If I try to add new layer to existing database I get another message "Failed to create the geometry column. The database returned: no such function: AddGeometryColumn".

Maybe this problem depends on how SpatiaLite is compiled: as standard library intended to be loaded as an extension or as self-standing complete SQL-engine supporting an internal private copy of SQLite.

I'm on self-compiled master, external SpatiaLite 3.0.1 from libspatialite-amalgamation-3.0.1.

Seems this is depends on how SpatiaLite is build. It works if SpatiaLite compiled as loadable extension and don't work if SpatiaLite configured and compiled as self-standing complete SQL-engine supporting an internal private copy of SQLite (amalgamation)
