The _SNDFILE_ error must indeed be a bug; I will fix it by replacing it
with HAVE_LIBSNDFILE and changing configure.ac to suit. Thanks for the
feedback.

Subject: [CSOUND-DEV:4162] csound5 on Debian


I have reinstalled from scratch the Debian system (having failed to
install gentoo as if failed to compile) and upgraded to stable/woody.
I also installed autoconf-2.59, automake-1.8.2 and libtools-1.5.2 from
the sources. 
  A completely new checkout of csound5 onto a clean disk.  Ran
autoreconf -i -f and waited.   Usual error messages followed by a exit
with error 1.
  No ./configure file has been made.

Thought that perhaps it was still using older versions of autogen etc
so deleted files from /usr/bin/auto* (must be a better way but have
not understood Debian yet) and redid the autoreconf.  this time
similar error messages but a ./configure built.

Ran it; strange that it cares whether I have g77 installed, and many
other irrelevant questions.  Finally after a long time built
makefiles.

make then failed as it could not find sndfile.h wanted by auxfd.c.  If
I do not have libsndfile installed why does it set _SNDFILE_ ?  Seems
like a bug to me.
