Meanwhile on macOS -> Sorry, no man page names contain the string "readelf".
What should that do btw?
I didn't think Mac had readelf, but was thinking it probably has something like it.

Display information about one or more ELF (Executable and Linking Format) object files. At least one option is required to specify the information to be displayed for each file. readelf does not currently work on archive files or 64-bit ELF files.
It is very similar to
objDump, but unless you or Peter play with assembly a lot, I wouldn't bother looking for that one.
Even if Peter could use it, I forgot it doesn't work with 64 bit files, which may (or may not) be a problem, since I'm not sure if Lc's IDE is truly 64 bit yet.

I always use the latest version...
Yes, and you had (before this version) the last latest version, and the last latest prior to that, and so on and so forth. I am assuming one (or more) of those versions set you up where you didn't experience this issue in this version.
Testing that theory isn't overly hard (but is kind of time consuming). Download the last 3 stable versions, go to the one immediately prior to this one, install it, if everything works, shut down and test in this problem version, rinse repeat until the current version works.

And he already deleted the prefs a couple of times, no dice...
As I said, I didn't think this was a prefs file issue, just that *like* a prefs file issue, previous versions of the IDE might be influencing whether it works or not by having set certain things on the OS level, like paths and such, so yours works and his does not because of this.
If Peter hasn't used his 'trial' yet, which I know they reset at some point, he might 'trial' the indy version, and see if that works. If it does, that would say there may be a difference between the two versions as well.
Frankly, though, unless there is some daunting need to use the latest bleeding edge version, I'd still say go back to a version that is known working (or believed to be so).

Whatever,
accessing any SQLite db should work right out of the box in the IDE, but he gets the dialog:
Unable to connect to the database:
revdberr, invalid database type
when using one of the numerous SQLite example stacks even the ones from the mothership!
I completely agree, but it requires tracking down. Best way I know to do this is to setup identical boxes (as much as possible), easiest way would be testing in a vm. I don't know which ones to recommend for Mac, but I'm sure there is one where you can setup virgin OSX machines on a mac, since you already have the discs or download or what not to do the install.
They work of course here, very funky!?
Yup, as I said, sounds 'buggish' to me. I'd certainly report it if it hasn't been already.
