sqlite.lua: couldn't connect to sql database, ERR: unable to open database file with home-manager

I'm trying to set this plugin up according to your instructions, but I'm running into this error:

Error detected while processing /home/cassidy/.config/nvim/init.lua:

I am facing more or less a similar issue when using smart-open.nvim telescope extension which depends on this plugin. I have followed the installation instructions; however, when I try to load smart-open via telescope it fails to load with the following errors.

I have all the dependencies mentioned in the readme installed and available in the path. I could not find any errors in the checkhealth output as well. I did try to install libz explicitly but still getting the same error.

For the reference I am using Azure Linux which is a fedora based distro and I did install sudo dnf install sqlite sqlite-devel.

Update:

It turns out that the issue for me was with the version of Neovim. I had this issue when I Neovim installed from Nixhub api however when I installed it from a different provider it worked fine.
