Jennifer, The first thing that you want to do is go back into the aureal directory and do make clean. Then do a ls /usr/src/linux/include/linux and see if you have a bunch of files in there that end with .h if not. Then do cd /usr/src and then do a ls command to see if your kernel-headers are loaded. If they are, and I thnk that Mandrake loads them by default the do ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.3-21mdk /usr/src/linux . That will create the symbolic link that you need for the Aureal driver. You need the program called gawk installed, install that. Then all you need to do is go back to the aureal folder and do the make install?? and play your tunes. I hope this is not to confusing and help's. If not get back to me and I'll do what I can to help, I have the same audio card.
