I am trying to re-compile sox source with mp3 support on CentOS 5. Note sox-12.18.1-1.el5_5.1 has been installed on my CentOS machine for a while.

Following http://techblog.netwater.com/?p=4, I installed the following packages using yum.

yum install gcc-c++ libmad libmad-devel libid3tag libid3tag-devel lame lame-devel  flac-devel libvorbis-devel make

./configure shows the following. 

BUILD OPTIONS
Debugging build............no
Distro name ...............not specified!
Dynamic loading support....no
Pkg-config location........$(libdir)/pkgconfig
Play and rec symlinks......yes
Symlinks enabled...........yes

OPTIONAL DEVICE DRIVERS
ao (Xiph)..................no
alsa (Linux)...............no
coreaudio (Mac OS X).......no
sndio (OpenBSD)............no
oss........................yes
pulseaudio.................no
sunaudio...................no

OPTIONAL FILE FORMATS
amrnb......................no
amrwb......................no
ffmpeg.....................no
flac.......................yes
gsm........................yes (in-tree)
lpc10......................yes (in-tree)
mp3........................yes
 id3tag....................yes
 lame......................yes
 dlopen lame...............no
 mad.......................yes
 dlopen mad................no
oggvorbis..................yes
sndfile....................no
wavpack....................no

OTHER OPTIONS
ladspa effects.............no
magic support..............yes
png support................no
GOMP support...............yes

But after executing "make && make install", issuing 

sox test.mp3 tmp1.mp3 reverse

returns 

sox: Failed reading test.mp3: Do not understand format type: mp3

What am I missing here? Thanks.

    I know this is old, but the problem is that make install hasn't installed sox to a directory on your PATH, so you're still using version 12 rather than version 14. – Josh Smeaton Feb 15 '13 at 02:51

I had the same issue.

Make sure that there is no other Sox installed on the server:

yum remove sox

Next:

make uninstall
make clean
./configure
make
make install
