Ubuntu Studio 11.4
fresh SVN checkout
I think I have all dependencies installed 
on running ./configure I get…
checking for a BSD-compatible install… /usr/bin/install -c
checking for pkg-config… yes
./configure: line 3581: syntax error near unexpected token -rdynamic,,,' ./configure: line 3581: AX_LD_CHECK_FLAG(-rdynamic,’
Any advice? anyone?
Are you on a 32 bit or 64 bit machine?
If you’re on a 32-bit machine you can get the latest version from the Audacity Team PPA: https://launchpad.net/~audacity-team/+archive/daily
Unfortunately there appears to be a problem at the moment on 64-bit.
Running 32 bit on this machine.
Thanks for the link, but I actually want to compile it myself as I plan to make some code changes.
I want to make sure I can compile with the code from SVN before I start programming on this project.
If you are still having problems look at the last post I made in this thread:
https://forum.audacityteam.org/t/cant-install-audacity-on-linux-mint/19463/1
The first link in that post is to a post on -dev (Audacity’s developer listserve). Benjamin Drung in a Linux Guru and might have patches available which would help you.
Here is the relevant info from the second link:
