‘seewave' install error “'sndfile.h' file not found” (for R 3.2.0 under OSX Yosemite)

Question

When updating to R 3.2.0 I had to reinstall seewave.

I managed to install the required packages fftw, tuneR, rgl, and rpanel.

But, when trying to compile seewave I got the message:

stft.c:3:11: fatal error: 'sndfile.h' file not found

On linux it is sufficient to install libsndfile library, for example with

sudo apt-get install libsndfile1-dev

On OS X just do:

brew install libsndfile

Thanks user44509, As OSX doesn't include Aptitude, I searched for something similar and installed Homebrew and "brew install libsndfile" did the job. – Pisca46 Jun 24 '15 at 21:05
Updated solution: on macOS 10.13, installing `seewave` 2.1, I had to install both **libsndfile** and **fftw** with Homebrew: `brew install libsndfile fftw` – iNyar Sep 30 '18 at 15:18

Pisca46 - Installing via 'brew install libsndfile' helped.

On CentOS, the package has a different name :

sudo yum install libsndfile-devel

I also had to install the fftw-devel yum package
