vec0.so in sqlite-vec-0.1.6-loadable-linux-aarch64.tar.gz is ELF 32.

I download sqlite-vec-0.1.6-loadable-linux-aarch64.tar.gz . But use file vec0.so, it seems it is arm 32

+1 to this - I'm testing on a Raspberry Pi5, and I downloaded the latest stable 64bit and the library is showing 32 bit. Can we please get an update on when this will be resolved?

tar -xvf sqlite-vec-0.1.6-loadable-linux-aarch64.tar.gz | file vec0.so vec0.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=126100873b8858013bd396b329eccfa35f27acf5, not stripped

WORKAROUND

You can work around it by building it yourself:

Dependencies

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential git

Steps

1. git clone https://github.com/asg017/sqlite-vec

2. cd sqlite-vec

3. ./scripts/vendor.sh

4. make loadable

5. ls -l /dist/vec0 - if this file is there, run file vec0.so and the output should be something like:

vec0.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=1a0a52906afa40d461ff320dea554e884147da3e, not stripped

IF THIS ERRORS OR IT DOES NOT WORK

1. Within the sqlite-vec folder, mkdir dist

2. Run the following command:

gcc -fPIC -shared -O3 -Ivendor \
    -DSQLITE_VEC_VERSION=\"0.1.6\" \
    -DSQLITE_VEC_VERSION_MAJOR=0 \
    -DSQLITE_VEC_VERSION_MINOR=1 \
    -DSQLITE_VEC_VERSION_PATCH=6 \
    -DSQLITE_VEC_DATE=\"2026-01-29\" \
    -DSQLITE_VEC_SOURCE=\"manual_build\" \
    -DSQLITE_VEC_API="" \
    sqlite-vec.c -o dist/vec0.so

3. file dist/vec0.so

The output should be

dist/vec0.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, ARM aarch64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=1a0a52906afa40d461ff320dea554e884147da3e, not stripped

Replace this file with the one in your site-packages.
