Re: alsa troubles

[David Miller <dmiller@nthdime.com>]

I got the latest Alsa working yesterday... The driver and library tarballs 
compiled and installed fine.  But in alsa-utils, the 'alsamixer' module had 
a small problem.  It compiled OK, but the makefile did not link it against 
the ncurses library (lots of errors about 'no reference to (ncurses 
function)').  Once I added '-lncurses' to the gcc command line, everything 
worked OK.

Hope this helps,
Dave
