Hmmm, that may have solved the problem right now but it is not good in the long term. You just installed a second copy of, for example, libsndfile, in a different place in your filesystem (/usr/local instead of /usr as installed by the rpm). You should have installed the development packages: apt-get install libsndfile-devel fftw3-devel They are part of the Planet CCRMA repository. This may not be a problem now but it will/can when packages are upgraded in Planet CCRMA and become out of sync with the development files you have. > So, why do I not have the .pc metadata files in my FC3 even though the > actual library files were there (in /usr/lib) all along?

If you want to compile something and it complains about software being missing, for example, glib2, then see if you have the development package installed: rpm -q glib2-devel if not then try to install it: apt-get install glib2-devel -- Fernando
