Following on from Nigel Henry's advice to update my Alsa to 1.0.16 I downloaded the tarballs, installed the alsa-lib OK (as far as I as a Linux newbie can see). But then trying to lake the library I ran ./configure OK, but the make command failed: $ make make dep make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ptoye/ALSA/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/ptoye/ALSA/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16/acore' copying file alsa-kernel/core/pcm.c /home/ptoye/ALSA/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16/utils/patch-alsa: 24: patch: not found make[2]: *** [pcm.c] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ptoye/ALSA/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16/acore' make[1]: *** [dep] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ptoye/ALSA/driver/alsa-driver-1.0.16' make: *** [include/sndversions.h] Error 2 $ so I didn't try any further. Any ideas what I did wrong?
