[tlug] New Sound Card

[Raedwolf Summoner <rarooam@example.com>]

Just got a Creative Titanium HD sound card for my new computer.
Plugged it into a PCI express slot, hooked it up to the speakers
and turned on the computer. Ubuntu (10.10) gave me a message
at boot-up ("something is wrong") and finished booting.

I went to the Creative website and downloaded their tar.gz
driver file for the Titanium sound card. Read the readme file.

It said:

Quick install
 
=============
In terminal,
 
1) Goto source directory
2) Execute make command as root
   make
   make install

OK, so I extracted the file from my ~/Downloads directory
and it made a directory called

~/Downloads/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00$

Assuming this is what is meant by "source directory", I
cd to that directory and do a "sudo make".

Here are the results (repeatable).

raroof@example.com:~/Downloads/XFiDrv_Linux_Public_US_1.00$ sudo make

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
