[newbie] Sound Card Troubleshooting

2002-03-14 Thread chingasman 



I have an aureal vortex 2 sound card. I properly 
read the readme and had it working on a prior installation. However, now it 
won't "compile" (correct me if i am wrong) when I run a "make install" command 
as indicated. If I were to layout a troubleshooting procedure what if any 
tools are available for this? I am of course a newbie so all and everything that 
could help determine where a problem would be or how to narrow down my problem 
would be nice.

are you sure you are running make install as root? use the  su 
command
to log in as root and then do a make install. that's probably the issue.
like this

]$su
enter password:   ( enter your root password here )

]$make install

If you've tried as root and it doesn't work, look
for a configure.log (or something like that) in the
installation directory. If it's there, it'll probably
identify exactly what went wrong.
