Thanks for your reply, Erik.
I see now that there is some info about using pkg-config in the
documentation, but I hadn't understood its significance, being fairly
new to Linux development.
What I have is a simple test app that just opens an audio file and
prints out the properties.
I'm compiling it with
gcc test.c -o test `pkg-config --cflags --libs sndfile`
But I always get the result
./test: error while loading shared libraries: libsndfile.so.1: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory.
The headers and libraries referenced by pkg-config all seem to be in the
right place.
I'm presumably doing something wrong, but can't see what it is.
