The error looks similar to what I get if I don't tell configure which sound card I have. Try telling ./configure what card you have.

Thanks Nick, I have actually made some progress since then. Now I get an error telling me I need to enable sound support in the kernel. I had failed to update the source RPM for the 2.4.2 kernel. One might expect that not to change, but who knows? gcc -DALSA_BUILD -D__KERNEL__ -O2 -m486 -malign-loops=2 -malign-jumps=2 -malign-functions=2 -DCPU=686 -DLINUX -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -I/usr/src/linux/include -I.. -c -o sound_oss.o sound_oss.c sound_oss.c:27: #error "Enable the OSS soundcore multiplexer (CONFIG_SOUND) in the kernel." make[1]: *** [sound_oss.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/download/working/alsa/alsa-driver-0.5.10b/kernel' make: *** [compile] Error 1 I'm not ready to dive back into the kernel compiling business just yet. I'm actually *reading* _Programming with GNU Software_. It's kind of frustrating because I already know a lot of the stuff so its hard to stay focused long enough to get the parts I don't know. Hey, I just noticed some info on sound cards on the http://portal.suse.com If this works, I'm not messing with ALSA compiling. I have enough to do. Thanks for the pointers, I may need them after all is said and done. One good thing is that ALSA now has a `make uninstall`. Steve
