I am running mandrake 7.2 and I am trying to install ALSA for my soundcard. When I run "make" it tells me that I am missing some header files. The following are some of the files I am missing

/usr/src/linux/asm/cpufeature.h
/usr/src/linux/asm/rwlock.h
/usr/src/linux/linux/threads.h
/usr/src/linux/linux/cache.h
/usr/src/linux/linux/shmem-fs.h
/usr/src/linux/linux/bfs-fs-i.h

these are some of the files it needs. I want to know from where can I obtain these files? one of the RPM packages in the CD?

install the kernel-headers package, or the kernel sorce package. Alsa is actually included with Mandrake 7.2, you should use the Mandrake alsa package, unless you need a newer version for your card.

And, if you can't find the package, all you have to do is download the kernel source (http://www.kernel.org) and then unpack it in /usr/src and you should be set.
