Hello,
I have a MSI K7T 266 mainboard with on-board sound, reported as VIA AC97
Audio Controller.
In fact the <sndconfig> program from RedHat finds it, but says it is not
supported and indicates that ALSA has a driver for this. And indeed ALSA
has a driver called via686a from version 0.5.9.
So I tried to install the last stable version from ALSA: 0.5.12
First the ./config did not work ok because of the different directory
structure of RH72 (it reported that version.h can not be found) but I
managed to solve this by a symbolic link, so now the config works ok.
The actual problem that I have is with the <make>. It starts compiling
and only issues a warning for the use of malloc.h (see bellow). But it
stops on error at sound.c. This is the output that I got - I hope it
helps you more than it helped me :)

I looked under /lib/modules/2.4.7-10/ and there is no 'build' directory
or link.
Is there something missing in my installation? Or how can I get past it?
Thanks,
Marian Grigoras
