Can't compile on Ubuntu/Dapper -- ALSA?

Hello.
I'm trying to install gizmod on Ubuntu/Dapper. I'm seeing this error when running ./configure:
checking Whether or not to build Alsa Mixer plugin... yes
checking for snd_mixer_open in -lasound... no
configure: error: You must have ALSA Installed!
I do have ALSA installed, and I have alsa-source installed. There aren't any libraries or packages that I can see that might be related to alsa(dev).
Any tips?
P.S. About a year ago you helped me a lot getting the old Lua version of GizmoD running; I promised to send you some X10 equipment... unfortunately, I couldn't find the controller, so I didn't send it.
I noticed that you now have a donation page on here; to try and make good on my old promise, I just sent you some money via PayPal. Thanks for the good software.
Hi Feifarek,
You have to make sure you have the ALSA development package installed, not just the regular one. But if you've already installed the dev package (as your message indicates you have)... then I really have no idea. I remember from when I briefly ran Ubuntu that the dev package was named something weird... in fact I don't think it even had alsa in the name. I could be totally wrong though. Rest assured it does compile on Dapper though.
The only other thing I can think of is it might be a lib64 (LD_LIBRARY_PATH) issue if you're running a 64 bit platform... if this is the case can you email me your config.log? Actually maybe send it regardless that way I should be able to figure out if you've got the alsa dev package installed or not.
And I remember you now... yes I do remember you saying you'd send some X10 stuff. No worries on not sending!
Thanks for the donation though... much appreciated! I've got a little donation fund going, and when it gets high enough to buy some new hardware gizmo(s) I'll probably create a poll on the website asking people what device support they'd like to see next... X10 will definitely be on the list.
Keep me posted as to how it's going.
