title: Trying to install libsndfile on Ubuntu 16
body: <p>I've tried running</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install libsndfile
  &gt; E: Unable to locate package libsndfile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So then I try</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get install libsndfile1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It installs, but where, how?</p>
  
  <pre><code>find /usr/ -name libsndfile*
  &gt; /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1
  &gt; /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsndfile.so.1.0.25
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>At the end of the day my goal is to get the lib to work for ruby, with either:</p>
  
  <pre><code>gem install sndfile
  gem install ruby-audio
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try installing ruby-audio, I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>extconf.rb:21:in `&lt;main&gt;':   Can't find libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/) (RuntimeError)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So for some reason the library doesn't install properly.</p>
