Refusing to install sqlite3 as a dependency of itself

I have the most recent version of node.js built with no problems. I am trying to use a sqlite module for node.js.

For node-sqlite3 by developmentseed, I followed the directions:

git clone git://github.com/developmentseed/node-sqlite3.git
cd node-sqlite3
./configure
make

I installed npm with: curl -k https://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

and installed node-gyp with npm: sudo npm install -g node-gyp

After node-sqlite3 configure-d and make-d okay, I tried to install with npm, I get this:

npm install sqlite3
npm WARN install Refusing to install sqlite3 as a dependency of itself

When I researched this error, I found this question: npm install sqlite3 error so I tried:

 node-waf clean || true; node-waf configure build

but got this error:

/usr/local/bin/../lib/node/wafadmin/Utils.py:136: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
from md5 import md5
Waf: Please run waf from a directory containing a file named "wscript" or run distclean
/usr/local/bin/../lib/node/wafadmin/Utils.py:136: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
from md5 import md5

When I tried to build orlandov/node-sqlite, I got it from git and then tried:

node-waf configure build

but I get this error:

I cannot use grumdrig/node-sqlite because it does not support asynchronous access.

Thank you for any suggestions.
