Firstly, you should probably use alsa-0.9rc6 rather than 0.5 which is no
longer maintained.
Since you haven't included the error message (and context) it's hard to
say anything for sure, but the configure line looks suspect to me, I think
you want:
configure --with-cards=all --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux
You do need to have a *configured* kernel source (or at least it's
headers) that match your current kernel. I think that if you are running
Red Hat's default kernel, then installing the kernel-headers package
should do the job.
Hope this helps,
James
