# Unable to load DLL 'e_sqlite3' dotnet core Raspian

If you get the error message "Unable to load DLL 'e\_sqlite3' dotnet core Raspian", that means that the libe\_sqlite3.so was not loaded to the runtime directory. There is a copy of the libe\_sqlite.so library [here](https://github.com/ericsink/SQLitePCL.raw). Copy the library to the directory of the dotnet application and it should be picked up the next time the application is launched.
