Reviewing the output I can't see any creation of a shout.h file. When I ten try to compile the file i get the following error:

I'd appreciate any help you can bring to bear dechiphering the error message and resolving the issue.

same problem for me, using debian 11

[Stephen Fairchild]

Previous versions of libshout-idjc should work.

Perhaps the quickest workaround would be to install the libshout-dev package. I reckon it compiled for me due to that being on my system. The offending line of code should read shoutidjc/shout.h in a file called legacy.c at line 26. You would need a text editor if you feel like fixing it at your end.

[Mark Lee]

I just downloaded the library on a similar set-up (Ubuntu 22.04). Has the line been fixed or should I install the dev package?

I am also confused about that line about --prefix=/usr. A scan through the system shows that all the directories mentioned on the compilation/installation page are there.

Scrubbed and re-uploaded as version 2.4.6-r1.
