[SOLVED] Error compiling latest alsa-utils

I am having troubles getting my ASUS Xonar DG to work on Arch.  I am currently trying to follow the instructions given at http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. … e-virtuoso
I have compiled alsa-driver and alsa-lib without a problem but when I try to compile and install alsa-utils I get the following errors

make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/alsa/alsa-utils-1.0.24.2/alsactl'
xmlto man alsactl_init.xml

This has me completely stumped and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have no such problem. I compiled it again when I read your post. Here's my PKGBUILD.

Re: [SOLVED] Error compiling latest alsa-utils

Why are you rebuilding Alsa? I have a Xonar Essence STX which needs the virtuoso module as well, that has been running fine with the ALSA packages Arch provides ever since I bought it.

Re: [SOLVED] Error compiling latest alsa-utils

You probably want to compile with --disable-xmlto

Re: [SOLVED] Error compiling latest alsa-utils

Thank you very much for the help.  I had to rebuild the alsa modules as there seems to be a diffrence between Xonar DB and other similar Asus cards.  Alsa from the repos simply would not find the card for some reason.  Thanks to Jodell I managed to build the package and now I have sound, marking this thing as solved.   Thank you again
