alsa driver compilation error

How can I solve this error? I've searched with google and this error turned up no results. With make install following I got some missing directories, those turned up a few results saying it should have been fixed in version 1.0.2 of alsa. I have version 1.0.5a. I have a ac97 chipset soundcard. So what's the problem?

Sounds like you need to find a version of ALSA that is:

1) correct for your distribution
2) no corrupted (check the md5 signature against the file you have)

I dont' know what kind of Kernel you are running, but I have an AC97 that works "out of the box" without any hassle, and has since 2.4.2.

You might want to try reconfiguring your kernel to support that model of soundcard. If you don't already know how, there are lots of pages on kernel.org about doing just that.

1) I thought the idea of using source was to make sure it would run on all distributions. Oh well I'll try the debian packages later
2) Not the cause cause I've downloaded that file a couple of times and it always gave this error

kernel 2.6.7. So I only have to add the viaxxx driver and it'll work?

thanks for the help!

Try these options
Device Drivers --->
Sound --->
<*> Sound card support
Advanced Linux Sound Architecture --->
<*> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
<*> Sequencer support
<*> OSS Mixer API
<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API[*] OSS Sequencer API
PCI devices --->
<*> VIA 82C686A/B, 8233 South Bridge

Say no to everything else in the sound section, OSS menu or whatever and then recompile the kernel. Good luck.
