Re: [Alsa-user] modprobe - unresolved symbols in snd.o

[Paul S. <so...@us...>]

Fedor,

Thanks again.

modversions.h was indeed missing.  After searching around for the source rpm
on my system (I use up2date for updates and I am not sure how long
downloaded packages are cached for) I just ran up2date again because the
updates included 2.4.18-10 (and I chose only the athlon and source
packages).

After installing the new kernel and source the driver compiled no problems
and modprobe snd-ens1371 went without a hitch.

I can run alsaplayer with no errors.  There is no sound so I am currently
trying to unmute.  Unfortuately the ./configure in alsa-utils barfed with
the error "no linkable libasound was found", in actual fact it appears in
/var/lib and running ./configure --libdir=/var/lib resulted in the same
error.  Without being able to compile the utils I am not sure how to unmute
(KMix won't run anymore).
