If anyone is getting the following when trying to build the alsa drivers: -
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4$ ./configure checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/alsa-driver-1.0.14rc4$ You need to install build-essential from the synaptic package manager which can be started up by doing the following: - 1. From the top menu bar select System-->Administration-->Synaptic Package Manager 2. Press Search button within the Synaptic Package Manager Window 3. Enter 'build-essential' into the 'search' field and press the search button. 4. If not already installed (the box beside build-essential should be green), click on the box and select 'Mark for Installation' 5. Press the apply button. You will then need to do the following to create the alsa drivers and install them: - 1, Call up a terminal window by selecting Applications-->Accessories-->Terminal from the top menu bar 2. Enter the following lines into the terminal window. wget ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.14.tar.bz2 tar -xjf alsa-driver-1.0.14.tar.bz2 cd alsa-driver-1.0.14 ./configure make sudo make install Reboot the system, hopefully everything will then work as it should ;) -- last feisty update breaks sound: SB450 HDA Audio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/88570 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
