I'm still messing around with this, and still having the same problem descirbed below. I have set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and verified with echo that it's being set to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. That directory contains the single file sndfile.pc. When I run configure for GWC, the exact error message I get is: configure: error: Libsndfile 1.0.0 or greater needed, find it at http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/ It doesn't matter whether I run configure as me or as root. Thanks for any assistance.
