[solved]Problem compiling alsa from source

I'm trying to install alsa-driver-1.0.18a from source because I need to compile it with snd-virtuoso.  So I run "./configure --with-cards=virtuoso --with-sequencer=yes" then when I run "make" I get this at the end of it.

....
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.27-ARCH/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/alsa/alsa-driver-1.0.18a  CPP="gcc -E" CC="gcc" modules

edit: I tried compiling it on another computer and it was able too...not sure why mine wont.  Although I do seem to remember possibly forgetting to uninstall it before making it again (after kernel upgrade)...I've tried multiple times to compile so far.  Is there someway I can get a list of things to delete to manually remove all remnants of a previous install of alsa-driver?

Re: [solved]Problem compiling alsa from source

Ok I ended up compiling the kernel from source for something else, so I tried compiling the alsa driver from source and it worked...maybe something was leftover in the previous kernel source directory that was causing problems.
