On debian & ubuntu you must install a set of packages before step 7 (configuring alsa)

sudo apt-get install build-essential

This allows the compilation of c++ code

Many thanks or posting this.

I’ve recently switched from a MacBook to an X300 (it was a close call btwn the MBA) - I’ve been using Ubuntu since it arrived about three weeks ago and am generally very impressed however it wasn’t until the alsa-driver-hg20080516.tar.bz2 release that I’ve managed to get the sound working (release 0424 had disappeared from the download list).

or on an OS designed for such things:

SOUND_CARDS=intel-hda emerge =media-sound/alsa-driver-9999

im talking about gentoo

actually you can proably get it down to 1 or 2 lines in Debian, theres various module building/installing utils.

if you can get it to grab from SVN anwyas. i know they hate that
