I've never used pkg_check_modules. What exactly are you trying to do? If
you're just trying to use the sndfile library, find_library() is
probably easier to use:

http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#command:find_library

The docs go into detail about how to insure that CMake finds your
library.

No, I meant your system PATH variable. CMake Find modules use your PATH
to help locate specific libraries.
