You can also add a line containing /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.conf.so Then run /sbin/ldconfig. You usually need to run it just one time because packages using libtool & company do that by themself. Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu. On Sat, 2003-02-15 at 07:13, Jan "Evil Twin" Depner wrote:

I've usually made symlinks to /usr/lib/pkgconfig/<somepackage>.pc when I've encountered this. Setting the env variable didn't help I suppose, can't remember. Try ln -s /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/sndfile.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/sndfile.pc

What do you get when you run the following commands: 0) pkg-config --list-all |grep sndfile 1) pkg-config --cflags sndfile 2) pkg-config --libs sndfile

3) locate libsndfile.so.1.0.4

4) cat /etc/ld.so.conf

5) echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

So my question is, have any of you successfully configured and used a Multi-port midi interface with multiple synthesizers on Linux? What is your interface? (I'm specifically looking for 8 or more ports)

OK, here is another problem. You notice above the libsndfile has been installed in /usr/local/lib/ but that is not listed in /etc/ld.so.conf. You should add /usr/local/lib to that file (on a new line) and then (as root) run the following command:

That should get you a LOT closer. Erik --

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.
