please ask questions about Bioconductor packages on the Bioconductor support 
forum https://support.bioconductor.org. Please also review answers to your 
question on Biostars first.

You are using an old version of R / Bioconductor but a new version of RSQLite. 
Use either a current version of R / Bioconductor or an old version of RSQLite, 
as explained here https://support.bioconductor.org/p/63555.

If you are having trouble installing a current version of R on linux, indicate 
your OS and how you are currently installing R. Be sure to follow the relevant 
directions from, e.g., http://cran.r-project.org/. Perhaps the R-SIG-Debian 
archives and mailing list have additional hints 
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-debian/.
