In the configure file I've got for jack 0.100, it uses pkg-config to detect alsa settings. That will look for a file called alsa.pc somewhere like /usr/lib/pkgconfig/alsa.pc You may have it in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, in which case do export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig before running ./configure in the jack directory (or do similarly for other locations) If you don't have alsa.pc anywhere, it usually comes with the alsa-lib package - I don't know much about debian, I'm afraid.. :) You can test that pkg-config is finding alsa.pc by running something like pkg-config --libs alsa If that works, jack's configure should find it, I think.
