Compiling audacity

["Sridhar M.A." <mas@uomphysics.net>]

Hello,

I am trying to compile audacity-0.97 on a machine running potato. Configure
does not give any errors implying (I think) that I have the necessary
supporting software/libs. But when I give make, the compilation aborts with the
following error message:

.....<snipped>

Going through the docs did not reveal anything. What am I missing here?
