What exactly is the error? If the advice below doesn't help you
will need to post the exact error message.

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.
