That's correct.  However, the configure script in the alsa-driver
package also looks at the /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
file to determine what version of the kernel the driver is being
compiled for.  I'm guessing that the user having this problem has
two kernel source trees, one in /usr/src/linux which hasn't been
used to configure or compile a kernel yet, and one in
/usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10 which was installed from the kernel-source
RPM.  If this is the case then I would suggest removing the
/usr/src/linux tree and making /usr/src/linux a symbolic link to
/usr/src/linux-2.4.7-10.  Or if you want to compile a custom kernel
anyway, do it under /usr/src/linux; then the problem with the ALSA
driver will be solved.
