The core issue here is the autotools
detection in libsndfile checks for the headers, and then for the libraries, but
the ifdef in the code only considers if the header files are available.
It appears that autoconf was able to find the headers, but not the libraries
(the output of configure would confirm this) and this is why it is failing on
his box. I confirmed that this is also still the case in the 1.0.17
release of libsndfile, although the site does say that this new version does
contain some bugfixes, so we should probably update to it.

Compiling error - libsndfile.so
Ok I'll try this one more time.
BEGIN
---------------------------------------------------------
Quite simple,
When our build process gets to the module building
stage, each module
has it's own Makefile with targets to build it's own
depends.
it downloads the tarball with wget and configures it to
the same
target prefix as all of the others. The lines
you pasted reflect
that the directories in the install prefix and the
cwd at build time contain the word "freeswitch" and does not
imply much more than that.
snippit of our mod_sndfile's Makefile
depends:
MAKE=$(MAKE)
$(BASE)/build/buildlib.sh $(BASE) install libsndfile-1.0.16.tar.gz
--prefix=$(PREFIX) --disable-sqlite
Like I said we only host the exact tarball on our server,
checksum it if you wish:
Feel free to see for yourself if you still do not believe
me.
Your library is a welcome addition as a module to our
software and
we have had little trouble with it, thank you.
If you would reccommend we use the newer version let me
know:

Stuart, Since this is a mailing list I am going to talk to
some other
people to save time on mutiple emails, excuse me a minute:
Roman, Here is the downside to your suggestion, this guy
is unhappy just because he *thinks* we keep his code in our tree.

Reply to him and say
We *do* use a pristine copy of thier tarball we just
host it
on our server to save you the bandwidth of
people constantly downloading it
we do not ship it with our source code so
please do not make that assumption.

Well then someone needs to explain this: "/usr/local/freeswitch/include"/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 'sndfile.h''/usr/local/freeswitch/include/sndfile.h'make[5]: Leaving directory `/root/freeswitch/libs/libsndfile-1.0.16/src'make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/freeswitch/libs/libsndfile-1.0.16/src'make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/freeswitch/libs/libsndfile-1.0.16/src'
