I know this might be stupid question. Did you syncdb after you installed it?

You can try finding the lock (assuming you are on unix):

$ which fuser

/usr/bin/fuser

$ fuser db.sqlite3 

db.sqlite3: 84349

$ ps aux | grep 84349

kelvin   84349   0.0  0.1   491220   4776   ??  S    Fri03PM   3:24.57 /Applications/SQLite Database Browser.app

This shows candidates that might have locks on the db. You can try closing them or killing them (ie. kill 84349)

fuser - list process IDs of all processes that have one or more files open
