Re: Audigy sound driver problem with installing.

In RedHat, you need to copy your kernels config file

/lib/modules/(kernel version)/build/configs/

to

/lib/modules/(kernel version)/build/.config

Just copy and rename it. And than run the "make" command
for the drivers.

where did the rpm put that source i installed.  the rpm install seemed to
work fine at the time.

think it searched in the SOURCES dir but still could not find what it
needed.  it reported that i needed to do a make configure on the SOURCES
dir.  doing this did nothing of cource because the /usr/src/redhat/SOSOURCES
dir did not have anything to configure.  there were a lot of sources in
there though.

what it linked to origionally, but i am not sure.
