As I wrote earlier on this thread, I rebuild audacity 1.3.2 on CentOS
5.0 x86_64 from the FC6 src.rpm.  Once you get all library files to
fulfill dependencies, running rpmbuild was rather trivial.  The only
tweak I needed was to edit the .spec file and change:

BuildRequires:  wxGTK2-devel
to
BuildRequires:  wxGTK-devel

I am cc'ing this message to Dag hoping he can add audacity for el5 to
his repository when he has the time.  But he will be busy at LinuxTag
for a while, I'm afraid.
