I am trying to install the latest alsa drivers on my
system.
My sytem details: os - RedHat 7.1 processor - AMD
500 MHz sound card - ALS4000
When I tried to run ./configure in the alsa-drivers
directory, following error message came:
-----------------
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... (cached) gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a
cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes

checking for directory with kernel source...
/usr/src/linux
checking for kernel version... failed (probably
missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h)
expr: syntax error
------------------------
I changed the value of kerneldir variable in
configure file from "/usr/src/linux" to "/usr". After
this
configure ran without any error messages.
When I execute the make command, following error
messages are coming:
---------------------------
[root@localhost alsa-driver-0.5.12a]# make

make[1]: Leaving directory

make: *** [compile] Error 1
[root@localhost alsa-driver-0.5.12a]#
------------------------------
Can any one please help me in solving the above
problem.
In mini-howTo it is said that all sound moudles
including sound.o should be disabled. How to do that?
It is also told that if the kernel is compiled with
the sound card, then kernel should be recompiled. How
to
know whether the kernel is compiled with the sound card?
