My other big project (Marsyas) doesn't check to see if the alsa headers 
are installed.  In the past few months, I've been changing linux distros 
quite often (trying to find the "most hardware support for macbook out 
of the box" distro), so I recognized the kind of error messages that gcc 
spits out when it failed to find a header.  (because nothing installed 
the headers by default, and I always forgot to install them before 
trying to compile Marsyas)

From there... I can't remember exactly.  I think I saw a bunch of 
terminal-related messages, and then I remembered that whenever I used to 
do "make menuconfig", I had to install libncurses5.  So I tried it out, 
and it worked.

We should probably file a bug report with texinfo about this.
