I'm trying to install alsa drivers under Debian `testing'. 

I've installed the Debian package alsa-source, but I need/want to
compile the drivers by hand (because my kernel is custom-compiled by
hand (2.4.22-ac4), I can't use the Debian package-creation tools).

In /usr/src/modules/alsa-driver/ .configure and make complete with no
apparent errors or problems.

However, `make install' exits with an error:

if [ -d /sbin/init.d ]; then \
  install -m 755 -g  -o  utils/alsasound /sbin/init.d/alsasound; \
elif [ -d /etc/rc.d/init.d ]; then \
  install -m 755 -g  -o  utils/alsasound /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound; \
elif [ -d /etc/init.d ]; then \
  install -m 755 -g  -o  utils/alsasound /etc/init.d/alsasound; \
fi
install: invalid group `-o'
make: *** [install-scripts] Error 1

It seems like the install script is passing group and owner parameters
to the install command, but not supplying any actual group or owner as
value.

I can't find any configuration option that seems relevant. Is this
some subtle incompatibility between the Debian setup and Alsa's
expectations? Is there maybe a place where I can reach in and supply a
relevant value for the -g and -o options by hand, or remove the
options entirely?  (Owner and group should both be `root' I think; I'm
also compiling as root).

It's very frustrating to be this close to getting Alsa installed
finally. 

So I'd be very grateful indeed for any pointers.

Jim
