I've been unable to get scikits.audiolab working on OS X. I've tried easy_install and building from source, but both give me the same error:

_sndfile.so is created in the location it describes, so it's some weird problem linking to it as, far as I can see. Got me stumped. I'm on the point of abandoning audiolab.
I can't use the built in scipy method for loading wavs as it doesn't work with 24-bit WAVs.
