hi Patrick Shirkey,
You last email really helped a lot. Thanks. Here is a new problem:
Compile error for RedHat 7.0 with Kernel 2.2.16-22 and a ALS4000 sound
Here is the setup in my computer:
(1) First check to see what modules have benn installed.
modprobe -l
Here's the relevant part from my setup
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/ipv4/ip_masq_raudio.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/misc/i810_audio.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/usb/audio.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/misc/sound.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/misc/soundcore.o
/lib/modules/2.2.16-22/misc/soundlow.o
(2)try to compile lsa-driver-0.5.11.tar.bz2
tar xIf alsa-driver-0.5.11.tar.bz2
cd alsa-driver-0.5.11
./configure
make
Here is the error part:
...
