ActiveRecord 3.1 & SQL Exception on Debian - sqlite

Question

developing on Lion, packaged with sqlite3 3.7.5, i am having no problems.
i pushed to production (Debian Lenny w/ sqlite3 3.5.9) and i get the following SQL Exceptions
SQLite3::SQLException: no such column: taggings.tag_id: [query here]
i confirmed this by running the query manually from the rails dbconsole, and indeed sqlite 3.7.x returns results, but 3.5.x throws an error.
i am confident the query is fine, so is ActiveRecord 3.1 not compatible with sqlite 3.5? I am not seeing a newer version.
any ideas here?
Update
the failing query is...
SELECT tags.*, taggings.tags_count AS count
FROM "tags" JOIN (
SELECT taggings.tag_id, COUNT(taggings.tag_id) AS tags_count
FROM "taggings" INNER JOIN work ON work.id = taggings.taggable_id
WHERE (taggings.taggable_type = 'Work' AND taggings.context = 'tags')
AND (taggings.taggable_id IN(SELECT work.id FROM "work" )
)
GROUP BY taggings.tag_id HAVING COUNT(taggings.tag_id) > 0) AS taggings ON taggings.tag_id = tags.id
and my schema is
create_table "taggings", :force => true do |t|
t.integer "tag_id"
t.integer "taggable_id"
t.string "taggable_type"
t.integer "tagger_id"
t.string "tagger_type"
t.string "context"
t.datetime "created_at"
end
add_index "taggings", ["tag_id"], :name => "index_taggings_on_tag_id"
add_index "taggings", ["taggable_id", "taggable_type", "context"], :name => "index_taggings_on_taggable_id_and_taggable_type_and_context"
create_table "tags", :force => true do |t|
t.string "name"
end
FIX
well i never discovered the problem, but my assumption is that activerecord 3.1 is not compatible with sqlite 3.5.9.
although the last dpkg version for lenny is 3.5.9, i built 3.7.7 from source and it is processing the queries correctly now.
