Why is there never any one around when I'm doin the really scary stuff. 
Oh, well, here's trashin' my system...

Okay, at the above site there is no .deb file with the name 
'alsa-driver' in it. So, I chose 'alsa-driver_1.0.15.orig.tar.gz

I downloaded that to my desktop and ran 'sudo tar -xzvf 
/home/chris/Desktop/alsa-driver*

That unpackaged everything in to my home drive. I did cd to get into the 
'alsa-driver-1.0.15' directory. I started the steps from the 'INSTALL' 
readme and ran./configure:

chris at cpc:~/alsa-driver-1.0.15$ ./configure
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C 
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

So, do I have to do apt-get install gcc before any of this will work?
