Otherwise, install libsndfile-1.0.17.tar.tar (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile)

Compile and install

./Configure

Make

Sudo make install

Cp/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/sndfile. pc/usr/share/pkgconfig/

Otherwise, an error is returned when audacity is configured. Because

Audacity's configure script. checks

The headers (using pkg-config) because it's going to try and compile
