Hi Eric,

Thankyou for your reply.  I compiled a static version of Portaudio and installed
it, but compiling my sources against Portaudio caused some errors to peak from
the Portaudio static sources.

I am most likely going to use the shared libraries, because then I can easily
update the libraries as needed.  Is that your recommendation?

Hugh
