Help with Alsa

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

I'm having a lot of trouble compiling alsa on my redhat 9 box. I have a
Tutle Beech 3D Soundstream (something like that) card. All alsa cares about
is the chipset, which I'm pretty sure is au8820.

I've gotten the 0.9.7C version of the drivers tarball, and 0.9.7 versions of
the utils, libs, and tools tarballs. Configure and compilation go fine, but
when I "make install", I get undefined symbols  from depmod. When I go and
try and load the driver module, it displays many undefined symbols and exits
without loading anything.

Any ideas on what I might do to correct this, or how I might diagnose the
exact problem? I'm using something like:

root# ./configure --with-oss=yes --with-cards=au8820 --with-sequencer=yes

One thing: I get this warning when configuring...

*** NO PREDEFINED KERNEL COMPILER IS DETECTED
*** Assuming the same compiler is used with the current system compiler.

*** Please make sure that the same compiler version was used for building
kernel

How do I find out what exact compiler version was used to compile the
kernel? Is there some command I can run on /boot/vmlinux to find out?  What
if they're not the same; would I need to recompile the kernel (really really
don't want to do that), or could I just try and find that version of gcc
somewhere and compile alsa-driver with that?


Thanx in advance for any info...
