 |
|
Hello,
My machine is failing when I try to emerge ALSA:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# ALSA_CARDS="au8830" emerge alsa-driver
...
checking for directory with kernel source... /usr/src/linux
checking for kernel version... The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist.
Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel
sources (default is /usr/src/linux).
!!! ERROR: media-sound/alsa-driver-1.0.2c failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 64, Exitcode 1
!!! ./configure failed |
My symbolic link looks right to me:
| Code: | bash-2.05b$ pwd;ll
/usr/src
total 8.0K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root 0 Feb 9 22:36 .keep
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root 20 Feb 19 10:47 linux -> linux-2.6.3-rc2-mm1//
drwxr-xr-x 15 root 4.0K Feb 10 15:45 linux-2.4.24/
drwxr-xr-x 18 root 4.0K Feb 12 15:17 linux-2.6.3-rc2-mm1/ |
The file its looking for, version.h, I noticed is not in my copy of the kernel source but it is in the copy of vanilla 2.4 that I have.
Anyone seen this? Whats up?
Thanks,
John |

in the 2.6 kernel series, ALSA support is built into the kernel. No need to emerge alsa.

If you are using a 2.6.x kernel, you don't need to emerge the ALSA-drivers. The drivers are already in the kernel.
But you need to emerge the ALSA-utils and configure as described it the docs.
Edit: Ooops... I was too slow  |

the driver for my sound card isn't in the kernel though (Turtle Beach Montego II) which has the au8830 chipset.
the newer versions of alsa-driver have the driver I need. only version 9.6 or something made it into the 2.6 kernel thus far. |
