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.

Yup...

It depends on what you want to compile.

Using which program? The "Add/Remove Applications" in the Fedora menu?
Did you install from the original Fedora cdroms? That should work, I
guess.

If you have the standard URL's in your apt sources.list configuration
file all those packages should be installable through apt-get. 

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
