No version.h with my kernel

I downloaded the kernel source from kernel.org. I did this because I'm trying to get sound working on slackware 9 and I downloaded the alsa drivers I need for my system. Alsa requires kernel source and demands I have version.h before it compiles.

check if you have a symbolic link 'linux' in /usr/src pointing to the actual folder. ex: ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.20 /usr/src/linux

no there's not, I downloaded and unzipped the archive myself and passed the kernel src location to the alsa configuration utility

# If you don't have a /usr/include/linux/version.h file, do
cd /usr/src/linux-2.4.xx; make include/linux/version.h
Then contine with Alsa install.
