alsa - driver .. problem compiling

Hello

and thanks for any previous replies to my posts here,

Now I have had difficulty installing the emu10k1 driver so gave up and am
trying the alsa install.

I executed   "./config" command after untarring the driver to /usr/src.    I
get a problem   "failed".    Probably missing
"/usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h "  or something very similar.

(yes I have all the libraries installed which the gcc requires)

according to the documentation for the alsa driver  ..  I quote:
==========================================

            "    If your ALSA drivers do not compile correctly and tell you
things about ``version.h'' or other
                    header-files that cannot be found, this can mean that
you do not have
                    the kernel header files. Take a look at the
kernel-HOWTO, unpack a recent kernel
                    in /usr/src and issue a make config.   "


Fair enough -  but How does one do this??

Any ideas:?

thanks in advance

The documentation says to run ./configure, but I don't know if it matters.

As the documentation says:
   cd /usr/src/linux
   make config
Just accept the default choices.

If you do not have the kernel source installed, it should come along on
the distro. On Redhat you would do a 'rpm -ivh kernel-source-$VERSION',
depending on which version of the kernel comes along.
