It seems that kernels and the alsa driver like to live in certain directories. I assume here, you do have the kernel sources comiled and installed (BTW, why aren't you using the latest?). The kernel sources should be in "/usr/src/linux-<version>"; then, there should be a link "/usr/src/linux" just to that directory. Next, if you unpack the alsa sources, they should be in "/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/". There you should run "./configure". If you still have problems, maybe you should run ./configure with "--help" to see, if there are some directories you could set explicitly, but actually, this should not be necessary.
