‘seewave' install error “'sndfile.h' file not found” (for R 3.2.0 under OSX Yosemite)

Question

When updating to R 3.2.0 I had to reinstall seewave.

I managed to install the required packages fftw, tuneR, rgl, and rpanel.

But, when trying to compile seewave I got the message:

stft.c:3:11: fatal error: 'sndfile.h' file not found

sudo apt-get install libsndfile1-dev

On OS X just do:

brew install libsndfile
