Hello,
I had this error when I was trying to install the library ffmpeg, This is the process I followed:

On notebook terminal run the following commands:

```
$ sudo yum install -y gcc
$ wget https://github.com/libsndfile/libsndfile/releases/download/1.0.31/libsndfile-1.0.31.tar.bz2 
$ tar -xf libsndfile-1.0.31.tar.bz2
$ cd libsndfile-1.0.31
$ ./configure —prefix=/usr \
    --disable-static \
    --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libsndfile-1.0.31 && make
$ sudo make install
$ pip install sndfile
```

Then go ahead and install librosa but However you may want to setup a new environment with the librosa package preinstalled to it.

```
$ conda create --no-default-packages -n name_of_env python librosa
$ python -m ipykernel install --user --name=name_of_env
```

Once completed you may create a new notebook and use this new environment.
