Alsa util compile error: alsactl.h not found

Hi,
My sound card is "Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Value", model: SB0400. My kernel is 2.6.12.2. Did a kernel compile with Alsa settings.
After this downloaded the source for alsa drivers, libs and utils from alsa website.
Here is a problem in installing:

Alsa problems in compile again!!
Did a "./configure;make;make install" of both the driver and lib for alsa. When doing the same
for utils, the make step gives the following error:

Code:

make

  -c -o alsactl.o `test -f 'alsactl.c' || echo './'`alsactl.c; \

then mv -f ".deps/alsactl.Tpo" ".deps/alsactl.Po"; \

else rm -f ".deps/alsactl.Tpo"; exit 1; \

fi

Are there any errors after doing ./configure?

Fixed this problem. (Some tinkering with c files and variable resolution was needed)This topic can be found under a differnt thread with my user id. No errors came up during ./configure.
Thank you.
