Hi,

I recently bought a VX Pocket V2.  Great soundcard (on windows) and

finally one with linux drivers for my laptop (which will be great when

it works)

I've been trying various interpretations of the instructions on the ALSA

page.

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/template.php?company=Digigr... 
but still no luck.  I'm relatively new to linux and it's been a

crash-course getting this far.  But I'm stuck and need some help.  I

think maybe the instructions make assumptions about linux knowledge that

I don't have - like how do I turn on module support?

I'm using Demudi - a 2.6 kernel - I've installed the firmware through

synaptic

but also downloaded the latest stable alsa tools, utils, lib, drivers

and firmware packages as per the instructions.  Also had to download gcc

and make and some other things

but it seems like the instructions are incomplete

make install says something about no path specified

./configure doesn't work

make build says the same thing

not sure what to do next.

It said something about a newer kernel

but this shouldn't be necessary

as the linux drivers were working a few years ago.

and I don't want to do an apt-get dist-upgrade

because when I tried that nothing worked at all.

anyway thanks in advance
peace
Hamish
