  • where did you download the software to? is libasound what you ae trying to install or is this a dependency of another package? Normally apt-get installs a compiled binary, where configure and make are used to build from source. Jul 2, 2017 at 21:24
  • so i am trying to install an amatuer radio program called FLDIGI. As I go and try to configure fldigi, it says no package portaudio-2.0 found. (package requirements portaudio-2.0 >=19) So portaudio2.0 website instructions say: sudo -apt-get install libasound-dev. when that is completed, I try to ./configure FLDIGI again, and it still says portaudio-2.0 still not found

If you installed software using apt, there is no need to then configure and compile the software. It already did that step on its own through the install. You can use the command below to check that it installed.

ldconfig -p | grep libasound-dev
