LinuxQuestions.org - Alsa Driver 1.0.9 Install Failure in Ubuntu 8.10

Hey, can anyone tell help with installing the alsa driver 1.0.9 for an hda intel sound card? Every time I try to compile (or install) the driver in terminal it fails. The alsa-utils and the alsa-lib compile and install fine. I followed the instructions on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto

My output for the sudo make command for the driver:

if [ ! -d include/sound -a ! -L include/sound ]; then \
ln -sf ../alsa-kernel/include include/sound ; \
fi
cp -auvf include/version.h include/sound/version.h
`include/version.h' -> `include/sound/version.h'
