need a little help with sound card drivers.

I've downloaded drivers for my PC. they were in *.tar.gz archive. I unpacked it and it created a folder with files there was a readme file with following instructions:

Quick install

=============
In terminal,

1) Goto source directory
2) Execute make command as root
make
make install


through Konsole I go to that new folder and write in command: "make", but I get error... what do I do wrong ?


p.s. check screenshot !

You are building a kernel module that will need to be linked back to the kernel source tree. You need to install the kernel source package.

# urpmi kernel-source-latest

Remember that building a module manually this way will require you to rebuild the module every time the kernel is updated.

thnx for that. I got through the "make" part...

now...I get error when I try to execute "make install"...

This kinda error usually means the module was built against a different kernel source tree than the running kernel. Compare the output of

# uname -r

to the kernel directory in the last few lines your screenshot. Make sure it matches, if not it's the wrong kernel source.
