It looks like you are running 2.4.18 kernel version and trying to compile
programs for another vesion. Boot into your 2.4.20 legacy kernel and try
again.
Uname -a will show you what you are currently running.

The problem is that the configure scripts detect your currently running
kernel
when you want to compile for a different one. The simplest way to fix this
is
to boot into the new kernel so the configure scripts can detect *THAT*
version.

Oops, I also just saw another problem. You must make sure that a kernel is
CONFIGURED at that directory. You will need to install not only the kernel
binary RPMS, but make sure you install the source along with it. It cant
find
config.h because you havent ran make menuconfig or similiar in that
directory
and generated the config files for alsa to use.

The latitude and longtitude of the bios writers current position, and

 Hi !

Thank you for the prompt reply .

The result of uname -a is as follows:-

Linux home 2.4.20-30.8.legacy #1 Fri Feb 20 17:47:48 PST 2004 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux.

I did boot into the new kernel that is 2.4.20-30.8.legacy .

my "ls -la /boot " gives the following .

I am suprised at the result of the make command of the alsa sound.

ANy new ideas ?

I plan to do a ivh on the rpm instead of uvh (upgrade) of the kernel

Below is the result of 'ls -la /boot'
