Re:Still no luck with modversions (compiling alsa)
I had the same error when compiling ALSA drivers. I had to set
the C_INCLUDE_PATH environment varible ( see info pages for gcc)
to have gcc use the kernel headers. I typed the following commands.
./configure
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.2.17/include/
export C_INCLUDE_PATH
make install
