If the advice below doesn't help you will need to post the exact error message. > I don't know what's going on. At the end of the libsndfile configure process there was a message like this: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Configuration Complete =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Configuration summary : Version : ..................... 1.0.5pre1 Experimental code : ........... no Tools : Compiler is GCC : ............. yes GCC major version : ........... 2 ** This compiler version allows applications to write ** to static strings within the library. ** Compile with GCC version 3.X to avoid this problem. Installation directories : Library directory : ........... /usr/local/lib Program directory : ........... /usr/local/bin Pkgconfig directory : ......... /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig Compiling some other packages against libsndfile may require the addition of "/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig" to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. My guess is that you didn't set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable as required.
