The problem is, that apart from the kernel-headers, the other package/s that 
need to be installed are distro specific.

When I run ./configure for the alsa-utils, it checks for the package gawk. I'd 
installed that a while back for something else I was installing, but I'd 
install it, and also libasound2-dev. Another package I had installed was 
binutils, and it may be worth installing that. I'm not trying to get you to 
needlessly install packages, just for the sake of it, but am puzzled why when 
doing sudo make install, the ja.gmo file can't be found. On the face of it, 
it looks like configure hasn't done all it should do, and would explain why 
the make install is failing.

Just a side note in addition to the suggested packages above. make sure with 
synaptic that gettext, and gettext-base are installed. I think they are 
installed as part of the initial install of Ubuntu/Kubuntu, but it's worth 
checking.

Would you run ./configure, and paste the output in your reply, or attach it as 
a .txt file.

You could also look in your alsa-utils-1.0.16 directory. Open the alsaconf/po 
directory. You should see 2 files ja.gmo (japanese), and ru.gmo (russian) if 
make install is doing it's job. Before you run ./configure (for the first 
time), there are only 3 files in the alsaconf/po directory, as below:
ja.po
ru.po
Makefile.in

When you run ./configure, configure, at the end of it's run creates a bunch of 
Makefiles, including one in alsaconf/po. Now you should see 4 files as below:
ja.po
ru.po
Makefile.in
Makefile  (the new one)

Now an sudo make install should result in 2 extra files in alsaconf/po, as 
below:

ja.gmo
ru.gmo

Both of these are identified as "type unknown", but should now exist for the 
make install to run to completion.

Peter. I will send you offlist my ./configure output, and you can compare it 
with yours.

All the best.

Nigel.
