I looked in the config.log file, and it said that it could not find 
the asound library (-lasound). I searched the web and found that 
libasound is provided by the alsa-lib package. However, when I 
installed that, I still got the same error. alsa-lib provides 
libasound.so and installs it in /usr/lib. Should I be installing some 
other package?
