Which version of RCB are you using? 

This should not happen if you use the stable version from the Eden repo. Maybe 
there is an issue with the current test version from the projects page. I have 
to check whats happening, but I never had issues like this.

Hi,

I am indeed using the stable from eden repo, with a svn edition of xbmc.

Then this looks like an error with your xbmc setup. RCB always tries to load 
sqlite3 first. Only when this is not available (like on Dharma) it tries to 
load pysqlite2.

There are only two places in the code where RCB loads these modules: 
gamedatabase.py and util.py. Try to change the lib loading code to this (remove 
the try/except block):

from sqlite3 import dbapi2 as sqlite
Logutil.log("Loading sqlite3 as DB engine", util.LOG_LEVEL_INFO)

I guess you will get a "Can't load sqlite3" error after doing this.

Hi,

sorry for the late answer, it now says:

19:37:46 T:139990416226048 ERROR: Error Contents: No module named sqlite3

but strangly enough i have it installed.
probably some version problem somwhere, i often have problems with python
on gentoo, it often goes haywire after updates.

Greetings,
Jeroen
