    Hi !

    very interesting reading all over your website.
    I’m struggling here by wanting to install SoX on a Mac under 10.8.5 .
    Gettin’ to cd sox-14.4.2 all works ok but then it says for “./configure” : “-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory”
    (I did install XCode). Have you any hints to solve this ? Thank you, Raphael

      I’ve found my false path: I did download a binary as a .zip file thinking it’s the same content as the tar.gz as they show up with the exact same file size on http://sourceforge.net/projects/sox/ . Now it’s working.
