Sluggers, can anybody tell me how to find out what libs, compiler

I'm trying to find out how Mandrake compiles audacity to get it to work
with wxwindows and gnome themes, I can't.
 

Download the source rpm for that application. This is the Mandrake rpm 
file with
like:

audacity.VXX.mdk.src.rpm
Then, as root, install it with,
rpm -i audacity.VXX.mdk.src.rpm
This  produces files in SOURCE and SPECS
directories of /usr/src/linux/
The file you are interested is in SPECS which is
something like:
audacity.spec
You may view it with your favourite text editor.
