emerge alsa error during compilation, emu1Ok1

hi, I just installed gentoo linux and I am a complete noob.
Everything went fine, except for installing the sound.

I am getting this when I do this command env ALSA_CARDS='emu10k1' emerge alsa-driver

!!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-0.9.2 failed
!!! Function src_compile, Line 59, Exitcode 2
!!! Parallel Make Failed

can someone help me with this, I really would like to have sound on my pc so I can continue installing the rest and enjoy my linux box, thanks a lot!

get the alsa source(driver,library,utils) from
http://www.alsa-project.org/
compile it
and use it

Did you modify your kernel configuration correctly? By default (in gaming sources at least) it seems to select a sound module. I deselect that each time, so there is nothing selected (other than the top option).
I have not had any problems otherwise.

Ok, my guess was right, It was already activated.

I am gonna try to install the creative drivers now to see if that works.

Hmmm what was your guess? That it was already enabled in the kernel??

Having same issue (Failed parrell make) when emerging alsa-drivers.
