Configuring Sox 14.4.2 With FLac

I installed SOX using this command
wget -qO ~/sox.tar.gz http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/sox/sox/14.4.2/sox-14.4.2.tar.gz
tar xf ~/sox.tar.gz && cd ~/sox-14.4.2
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make && make install

Similarly Flac using this command
wget -qO ~/flac.tar.xz http://downloads.xiph.org/releases/flac/flac-1.3.1.tar.xz
tar xf ~/flac.tar.xz && cd ~/flac-1.3.1
./configure --prefix=$HOME
make && make install

But when I try to use flac it gives me error "No handler for detected file type 'flac'"

Hmm... Are you trying to use flac to read .flac files as  input?

I'm going to guess FLAC needed to be installed first. Try re-running configure and make install in the SoX build directory. But if that doesn't help, then I am out of ideas, sorry.
