libasound headers version >= 1.0.16... not present.

[wetinwales]

Hi All
Following essay on installing drivers for emu1212 sound card as per
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=715755
Solved all problems so far.
Getting on with config make make install for packages. Learning lots!

Got to ./configure --w... alsa-utils-1.0.20 and I get:-
...etc
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for ALSA CFLAGS...
checking for ALSA LDFLAGS... -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread
checking for libasound headers version >= 1.0.16... not present.
configure: error: Sufficiently new version of libasound not found.

According to Synaptic, libasound2-1.0.18-1ubuntu9 is installed
tried installing both the https://launchpad.net/~voria/+archiv...aunty_i386.deb
and the
libasound2_1.0.18-1ubuntu9_amd64.deb I am an amd64bit processor.

So stuck for clues. alsa-utils-1.0.20 won't play without libasound 'something'

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Daf

Hi
No, libasound2-dev was not installed.
Installed it from Synaptic ( 1.0.18-1ubuntu9 )
Couldn't spot error messages in ./configure
make wasn't happy:-

bin/bash: xmlto: command not found

Either install xmlto or configure it out

suggest installing it, then run a

make distclean

on source, then configure as you were doing and make.

You may wish to install checkinstall also, then after the make succeeds use this to install

sudo checkinstall --fstrans=no

Problem solved.

The block in alsa-utils-1.0.20 cleared with installing 'xmlto' and re configure make make install.
One remaining error message was in place on make and make install but nevertheless emu is now working fine

Look at the caveat in this forum which warns against the emu cards not being well served with drivers for linux.
I wanted the full 192KHz but can not have it. Only 48000 sample rate available
