I'm trying to install the ALSA driver package (yes, that one ...)
under CentOS 4.2. Here's where I'm hung up:
./configure --with-cards=sb16 --with-sequencer=yes \
--with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-11.EL
I get this message:
checking for kernel version...
The file /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-11.EL/include/linux/version.h does not
exist.
Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your
distribution ...
It speaks the truth. The file isn't there, and I think it should be.
This was after a few attempts. I installed kernel-sourcecode-2.6.9-11.EL
and the directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-11.EL/include/linux is present,
but the version.h file does not exist there.
A number of the header files in that directory do have includes for
<linux/version.h>
... so I searched for any directory or link system-wide named "linux" that
might satisfy linux/version.h. Struck out again.
I searched the system for all the version.h files, thinking I could find one
to link to, but they all look application specific except for
/usr/include/linux/version.h. That is a strange looking file:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.4.20"
#define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132116
#define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
The numbers here don't look right. And I'm on 2.6.9-22.0.2.EL #1
according to uname -a.
So ... I'd appreciate any ideas as to how to find (or create?) a version.h
file to meet the needs of this ./configure script. I haven't yet tried
hacking
into the configure script itself, and hope to avoid that . . .
Thanks,
Vic
