no sound with Intel 945PM Express chipset on laptop

I'm using Kubuntu 7.04 with all the updates. I read about not being able to play mp3s, etc, but this is not my problem. I can't play any sounds.

Have a look at this page first:

Before installing the new alsa modules, check what you have, since they should be included with the last kernel update.
To check it type this command in a console:

cat /proc/asound/version

The output for kernel 2.6.20-16 should be:

Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14rc1 (Tue Jan 09 09:56:17 2007 UTC).

Ok, I tried to do the 'how to', and everything was cool until I tried to 'make' util and got these errors.

What should I do?

Thanks Cesare Tirabassi, that solved my question.
