I need to use the 0.9 beta drivers for my card (Delta 66) as it is multi-channel and not handled properly by the 0.5.x set which are included in the distro. I had these working in 8.1, but under 8.2 on running configure for the driver I get:
checking for kernel version... expr: syntax error expr: syntax error expr: syntax error failed (probably missing /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h) I check the alsa-user archives and found a reference to this problem, but no suggestion of how to fix it. Needless to say, version.h is not missing: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 384 Mar 15 13:35 /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h I have the kernel sources and headers installed as required, but don't have the coding knowledge to work out what is wrong with the way configure is trying to get the version info. I've tried this with 0.9.10, .12, and rc1 - same result every time. Is there a code head out there who is willing to give it a try and shed some light on this? My mp3s are missing me terribly! Thoughts of booting W$ are flashing before me! OK, that's extreme and I'm not that desperate yet, but no music leaves a big hole in what is otherwise a great environment. TIA Brian
