I recently installed RH 7.3, and have an Aureal semiconductor / Vortex I soundcard (I'm assuming that's the 8820). I went to soundforge.net site and downloaded the latest aureal driver for the card, read the README, checked out the Makefile (I have a 400MHz PII, so i left the CPU option at 'Pentium'), and did a 'make install20' as indicated in the README.
When I was running RH 7.2, this worked and I had sound. Now, under RH 7.3 I get two errors and several warnings -- issues about casting types and other lingo that are a bit over my head.
I did a fresh install of RH 7.3 (no upgrade from RH 7.2), and I did do a 'sndconfig' -- it recognized my card, but said it was not supported. How could this have all worked so easily with RH 7.2 but not with RH 7.3
Any help on the matter would be much appreciated ... I'm a rookie at linux, and I have gone through and read many associated posts on this matter but nothing seems to help ...
hello,
the warning are something that you can safely ignore, there are frequent 'casting' warnings that can be ignored.
What are the errors? My 1st guess is that soemthing that needed to be installed was not, my 1st guess would be kernel headers.
And oh yea! Welcome to linux junior
I have done a " rpm -q kernel-source ", and the kernel source on my system is NOT installedhello,

The type of error message that i'm getting is the following (note, i did not include the whole error message, it would be too long

I'm assuming the 'error Invalid kernel header included in user space is the cause of all my problems. Do i need to get the kernel source to remedy this? ... i'm not familiar with kernel headers, so i would be very grateful for any assistance offered.
hello,
install kernel-source and they will have the kernel headers you need. The provide a bunch of cool stuff that makes it much easier to install kernel related items.
I'm still having a little problems ... lemme go ahead and mention what I've done so farhello,
install kernel-source and they will have the kernel headers you need. *The provide a bunch of cool stuff that makes it much easier to install kernel related items. *
I got my kernel-source (kernel-2.4.18-3.src.rpm) and installed it (rpm -ivh <filename.rpm> ) ... it installed successfully (not sure where though) ... i am not sure weather i need to run any othe program or call after installing the kernel-source (pls verify)
I attempted to create a symlink, but my directory structure is different than the typical /usr/src/linux-<kernel version> structure that I've seen before. In RH 7.3, here's what it looks like:
/usr/src has only one directory (& no files) in it, that being /redhat ..... inside /usr/src/redhat are the following directories -- /BUILD, /RPMS, /SOURCES, /SPECS, & /SRPMS. I am unsure as to what to make a symlink to.
Without making the symlink, i tryed installng the aureal driver, and got the same errors as before (basically, 2 errors again).
Also, by installing the kernel source, what kind of cool stuff is there for me to use?
hello,
sorry for the delay - techincal difficulties
the directory you mention is for redhat rpms, tyhe directory for kernel source should be at /usr/src/linux or maybe /usr/src/linux-2.4, but none of the files/directories you mentioned are right.
what happens when you do rpm -ql kernel-source ? this will list out out the files in the rpm.
here is a rpm cheat sheet

After a butting heads with linux a little more (and with the assistance of you guys!), I did manage to get the aureal 1.1.2 drivers to install ... i was doing the wrong rpm command (had to 'rpm --rebuild kernel-2.4.18-3.src.rpm' and THEN the 'rpm -ivh on the resulting kernel-source<blah blah>.rpm' since an 'rpm -ql kernel-source' came up with nothing), SO THANKS EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HELP!hello,

I did get an error though during the aureal driver install, something that said 'Error [1] during make, ignored' ... so i take it its not a biggie ... i also got a message that no aureal 8820 module was installed, which perplexed me, but upon rebooting the system recognized 'new hardware' and Kadzu propperly configured it (upon prompting me) ... so i can finally listen to CDs now!!!
Congratulations on getting your sound back. Don't worry about butting heads with Linux, as that seems to be par for the course. The great thing is that you learned something new, so hopefully things will go smoother "next time". I, myself, enjoy butting heads with Linux. Of course, that is my decision (I butt heads with Windows a lot, but that is not something that I have decided to do. It is forced on me.).
