bitcoin-cli createwallet error : Compiled without sqlite support #25805

I installed bitcoin core on ubuntu server (I got help from: https://baloian.medium.com/how-to-setup-and-run-a-bitcoin-full-node-on-ubuntu-a106fb86dbb3).

The following commands work fine:

bitcoin-cli -getinfo

bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo

bitcoin-cli getnetworkinfo

bitcoin-cli getpeerinfo I get this error when I want to create a new wallet: request :

bitcoin-cli createwallet adminwallet response :

error code: -4

error message:

Compiled without sqlite support (required for descriptor wallets)

I'd suggest using our build documentation: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/build-unix.md, rather than random, year-old medium articles.

The issue is that sqlite wasn't available when you compiled (it's not metioned in the article at all). You should install it and recompile, if you want to use descriptor wallets.
