luke9511 Posted November 12, 2006 Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 ok i dont know if this goes here or not but here it goes, so im trying to install an updated version of alsa and when i go to install it and i do the ./configure commmand i get this checking for kernel linux/version.h... no 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). can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it? and thanks in advance for any help/advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AussieJohn Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 Pray tell why you are using or trying to use a compile version rather than use MCC to help you install an rpm off the Alsa update. Are you a masochist or something ??? :D :D :D You are obviously having a dependency problem here of some sort. Installing an rpm using MCC would take care off any dependencys by downloading them for you as required. Cheers. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffi Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) huh? Why do you need the latest version of ALSA?* Because it is far easier just updating through the mandriva control center or urpmi. Type mcc from a console to start the control center and use easy-urpmi to set up sources. (*edit: I see you are using a very old kernel, I wasn' t very happy with alsa version < 1.0.12 either....)

jaraeez Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hi, Not sure how far you got with the install, but doing the following might help (its helped me a few times when I've had that error) 1st. You should have a file called /etc/asound.state. If so as root do cp /etc/asound.state /etc/asound.state.old then remove the /etc/asound.state file rm /etc/asound.state 2nd Shutdown the PC & then restart it (I found if I do a reboot I still get the error, but if I shutdown then restart the error goes!) Also open mcc & go to hardware from there check your sound card is using the correct module (driver) HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke9511 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 hmmm that didnt seem to work and also something that i keep forgetting to post is that, my sound card doesnt show up in MCC for some strange reason, the only thing i can think of is that the sound card is ISA, but thanks for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 now im not able to update my copy of mandriva cause of my processer I doubt that's the problem - you should be able to run 2006 or even 2007 on this machine. I was running at least LE2005 on a AMD K6-2 450MHz with hardly any ram in it. And it worked fine. You'd be better off trying a newer version to obtain your newer version of alsa. Your kernel is very old, and to me looks like you are running Mandrake 10.0 or 10.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke9511 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 yes im running 10.1 and i posted in one of the other forums on this site asking if i should upgrade or not, since i only use this for learning but since i cant seem to get alsa updated and/or get my sound card working looks like im gonna have to update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 I seem to remember something (unless I'm dreaming) that it's not possible to upgrade alsa beyond a certain point in 10.1. I can't honestly remember but I'm pretty sure I read it in a post here as I don't frequent any other forums. And I have a feeling your only way forward if your card won't work with the alsa on 10.1 is to try LE2005 or even better 2006. You could try 2007, but I think you'd be better with 2006 at least for the time being as I don't know how 2007 would perform on your machine.

luke9511 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 well i downloaded and am burning the free version of mandriva 2007, so i guess we will find out how well it will run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke9511 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 ok i got mandriva 2007 free installed and it works good but alsa is not working and its installed, tryed doing alsaconf and it says bash: alsaconf: command not found which is weird since its installed etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
