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).
Yes. I thought that seemed odd. Thanks for verifying.
***What's the correct way to un-install them now?***
OK. It's starting to make sense.
No. I just put in the original FC3 CD #1 I downloaded from CCRMA and
originally installed on my machine and ran autorun to get the "Add or
Remove Packages" window which, after picking "Forward" a couple of times
and picking the "Gnome Software Development" package, for instance,
produced the "Packages Not Found" error.
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.
Makes sense.
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? Is this what

Yup...
This reminds
me that when I installed FC3 from CCRMA, I choose NOT to
install any of the "Development" packages like:
"Development Tools"
"X Software Development"
"Gnome Software Development"
etc
Would installing these have prevented these dependency problems?
It depends on what you want to compile.
I thought I'd try to go back and add them
from the FC3 CDs but when I
check them and say "go" I get a "Packages Not Found" error pop-up
saying
installation cannot continue because a bunch of packages could not be
found like netpbm, xorg-x11-libs, glib2, pygtk2, gtk2. So now I can't
even add packages from the original FC3 CDs I installed from. 8^(
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

I'll take another look at it using your suggestions.
Thanks again.
