./configure --disable-portaudio

here the error, please help me out!

thanks!

You do not need portaudio. Even if you don't disable it, it should fail if your system doesn't meet the specs. If it's passing for some reason, we need to patch the script that looks for it.

The issue seems to be one of conflicting requirements for portaudio, where some apps require a different version of portaudio than we use -- they
  changed the API, I guess.  So on systems that have portaudio (but not with the API *we* need), we'll configure-in portaudio, and then fail
  during the build.  On those systems, installing portaudio19-dev works for *US*, but causes other things to fail, due to API incompatibilities.

I just *love* how, 20-years-on, Linux can't decide on which audio subsystem it uses, so it supports all of them.  With conflicts.
