Eric,
THANKS a million for your help. I dumped the alsa-driver-0.5.9 drivers and
started working
on the alsa-driver-0.9beta12 drivers. This is EXACTLY why I didn't use the
0.9beta12 drivers
first - I CANNOT AFFORD TO USE A BETA IN A CORPORATE ENVIROMENT - if I had
know that
the 0.9beta12 were not really betas I would have used them ages ago. I have
burned alot of time
working with the version 5 drivers. It is killing me.
Regardless... I have comiled the driver section, the lib section and now I
am getting a
last error on the util section. I have had to use the
"--prefix=/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.9.0beta12/alsa-kernel" option because on my
standard RedHat
7.2 install the ./configure cannot find the files. However even when I do
this on the util
it will not complete. Any Ideas? Why is this so painful to just compile and
install some sound
drivers?
Here is the present error:
checking for libasound headers version >= 0.9.0... not present.
configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found.
But 'asoundlib.h' is there ... at
/usr/src/alsa-driver-0.9.0beta12/alsa-kernel/include/sys
exaclty where the Util INSTALL doc says it wants libasound.h ... but it says
they are not new
enough? HELP ....
thanks... Chris

Red Hat 7.2 andcs4236 chip set
The version of alsa you are attempting to use is 1.5-2 years old. It is
unlikely that you will be able to get it working on any current system.
Please try the 0.9.0beta12 version of ALSA. Don't let the beta in the
version name scare you. The 0.9.x ALSA series is much improved over the
0.5.x series which should only be thought of as a historical release at
this point.
Clear out everything on your systems related to 0.5.x and get the
0.9.0beta12 versions of the drivers, library and utilities from the
alsa-project website:
http://www.alsa-project.org/
If you have any trouble with these report back to the list. It's always
good to hear about linux gaining wider deployment. Good luck.
