Prior to this point I had had some problems An error message kept
saying that it could not find my Linux/version.h file. I did a 'locate'
command and got three locations. I do not know what to make of all this.

Here's what happened.
----------start first snip---------
[root@kjones-fedora alsa-driver-1.0.9rc4a]# locate include/linux/version.h
/usr/include/linux/version.h
