FYI, I solved the problem building and installing audiolab on fedora. It was
operator error:
http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/scikits.audiolab/built
without a hitch once I installed two extra packages.
I didn't install 'numpy-f2py-1.3.0-7.fc12.x86_64' and only had
'numpy-f2py-1.3.0-7.fc12.x86_64' installed. Unfortunately, the error message
wasn't exactly helpful until I realized numpy was only half installed from
reading the numpy source file I finally realized it was dying, crypically,
in (bug, IMHO). Once that hurdle was cleared, it was obvious I only had
'sndfile' binary package installed so I also
installed libsndfile-devel-1.0.20-3.fc12.x86_64. With that all in-place, I
followed
http://www.ar.media.kyoto-u.ac.jp/members/david/softwares/audiolab/sphinx/i…
and
compiled and installed audiolab. (next, trying it out).

(if anybody sees additional things wrong, please let me know...)
