[linux-audio-user] GWC & libsndfile

[Howard Sanner]

	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.
