I was having major issues installing sonic-visualiser from source. The problems arose because I wanted to compile my own rubberband and vamp plugins, and the lame qmake installation that sonic-visualiser uses couldn't find them.
To get around this, I just installed rubberband and vamp with yum:
yum install vamp-plugin-sdk-devel vamp-plugin-sdk rubberband rubberband-devel -y
Then copied their pkgconfig .pc files somewhere:
mkdir save-pkgconfig
cp /usr/lib/pkgconfig/* save-pkgconfig
Then removed the original packages:
rpm -e vamp-plugin-sdk-devel vamp-plugin-sdk rubberband rubberband-devel
Modified the prefix line in the .pc files:
prefix=/usr/sness/sv
exec_prefix=${prefix}
libdir=${exec_prefix}/lib
includedir=${prefix}/include
Name: vamp-sdk
Version: 1.3.0
Description: Development library for Vamp audio analysis plugins
Libs: -L${libdir} -lvamp-sdk
Cflags: -I${includedir}
Copied these files back to the pkgconfig directory:
cp *pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig
And compiled sonic-visualiser.
