I tried to update ALSA in the terminal as described in comment 36. It worked fine till step 5, when this happened.
<code>sims@sims-laptop:/usr/src/modules/alsa-driver$ sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=hda-intel --with-oss=yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name...
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.</code>
