SQLite: sorry, creating/writing any SpatiaLite DB is unsupported

[peifer]

I can obviously create a SpatiaLite DB, see (1), but (2) tells me that "creating/writing any SpatiaLite DB is unsupported", which is a bit puzzling.

(1)
$ ogr2ogr -f sqlite out1.sqlite cha06.sqlite

(2)
$ ogr2ogr -f sqlite out2.sqlite cha06.sqlite -dsco spatialite=yes
ERROR 6: OGR was built without libspatialite support
... sorry, creating/writing any SpatiaLite DB is unsupported

sqlite driver failed to create out2.sqlite

[Even Rouault]

(1) creates a "regular"-flavour sqlite DB, with geometry blob being in WKB format

(2) creates a SPATIALITE-flavour sqlite DB, which now requires to configure GDAL with libspatialite support

So the error message seems consistant to me.
