 mlocate sox 

would be much much faster. Ref:

get/compile from Debian source, with the help of all those Debian helper 
tools, can save you much trouble as you have experienced. Ref,

http://xpt.sourceforge.net/techdocs/nix/distro/debian/deb18-
PackageBuilding/single/#Building_custom_version_of_wget

and the next title.

If you have to build from source, remember to use checkinstall, eg.

 checkinstall make
