This problem has been mentioned before, but after lots of googling I
still can't find the solution.
I have a (minimal) running Sid system now, with kernel 2.6.5. I want to
compile ALSA 1.0.4 from source (don't ask me why), so I got all the
tar.bz2 files. The libs compile flawlessly, the drivers not. When
running ./configure I end up with....
   

<snip>
 

checking for directory with kernel source... /lib/modules/2.6.5/build
checking for kernel version... The file 
/lib/modules/2.6.5/build/include/linux/version.h does not exist.
Please, install the package with full kernel sources for your distribution
or use --with-kernel=dir option to specify another directory with kernel
sources (default is /usr/src/linux).
Kernel directory is /usr/src/linux-2.6.5 and is symlinked by /usr/src/linux.
The option --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-2.6.5 doesn't help in solving
the problem.
The file /lib/modules/2.6.5/build/include/linux/version.h doesn't exist.
Anyone with some hints or tips? Thanks.

usually when you install your kernel, some source files are installed in
/lib/modules/2.6.5/ . Normally this happens when you do a 'make
modules_install' after the kernel has been compiled. I don't know how you
installed your kernel, but version.h definitely should exist there.
Note that /usr/src/linux is something different than
/lib/modules/2.6.5/, because the latter is (always) your current kernel.

Is this new for kernel 2.6? I indeed solved it by running make modules, 
then make modules_install in the kernel source directory. I used 
make-kpkg for compiling the kernel and all the modules that were 
compiled with the kernel were installed and worked. I compiled ALSA on a 
Woody box with a 2.4.18 kernel and didn't have this problem. Never had 
to to a make modules; make modules_install.

But thank anyway, as I have ALSA installed now.
