This means that you must be running a kernel that includes the soundcore
module. If you compiled your own kernel you will have to have set or
CONFIG_SOUND=y or CONFIG_SOUND=m
Many distributions install kernels with this turned on, so you may
already have what you need in this regard.

I think these errors mean that you do not have the kernel sources
installed. You will need to install kernel source code so that you will
have the kernel headers. If you are using an rpm based distro you will
probably have an rpm named kernel-headers-2.x.x on your installation CDs
or at your favorite ftp or web mirror.

Once you have the above issues sorted out your card's module will be
compiled along with all the others if you do a basic ./configure before
your make install. Alternatively you can do the ./configure like this:
./configure --with-cards=als4000
which will compile only the driver module for you card.
