Audacity: gtk-config problem.

./configure

------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas?

- I'm using Fedora Core 5.

- I have the wxGTK-2.4.2 as recommended.

- I have the audacity 1.24b (stable) release.

By the way, I couldn't get the Audacity to work yet however, I manage to get Sweep working.

Is Sweep as good as Audacity?

They say Sweep is an audio editor but I can't even load any songs into Sweep.

Keep saying "file does not exist".

OMG, I'm such a Linux beginner!

Why didn't I check the KDE package manager?

Audacity was listed there!!!

-_-! *smacks himself across the head*
