Hi guys,

	This looks like basic mistakes I'm making, so I'm wondering what
I'm doing wrong:

A:  Installation of modular sound drivers.
Okay, so I have here this SBC computer with an onboard ESS Chipset.  The
chipset is supported in the 2.3.99-pre9 kernel.  I compiled the sound in a
as modules, but when I run /usr/sbin/sndconfig, sndconfig says that the
modules are not available and the kernel doesn't seem to be supporting
sound modules.  (I do know that it is booting the 2.3.99 kernel that I've
compiled).

So, after compiling a kernel, I do the following:

Move /usr/src/linux/arch/i386/bzImage to /boot/vmlinuz-version/
Symlink /boot/vmlinuz-version to /boot/vmlinuz
move /usr/src/linux/System.map to /boot/System.map.version, and symlink
Update /etc/lilo.conf to install the changes...

Run /sbin/lilo to reinstall Lilo.

Okay, what am I missing?  Why is sndconfig being grouchy?

Second question:

I'm trying to get GQMPEG compiled onto this box, and GTK-PIXBUF is one of
the prereq library.  So, I downloaded the source, compiled it.

By default, make install installs the libraries in
/usr/local/lib/gdk-pixbuf

And compiliing I ran /sbin/ldconfig to update the libraries listing
(correct?)

But ./configure in GQMPEG source says that it can't find the libraries...

So, what am I doing wrong there?
