module snd-virmidi missing?

modprobe: module snd-virmidi not found in modules.dep

Does that mean I need to compile it myself? Need to re-compile the kernel? Or what?

TIA!

If the output:

[c]zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i virmidi[/c]

is

[c]# CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI is not set[/c]

You have to compile the kernel.

Thanks mojo!

CONFIG_SND_VIRMIDI isn't set...

From your reply I can conclude that simply compiling snd-virmidi.ko without also compiling the kernel won't work? I'm doing some reading on kernel compiling/modules, but it's not clear to me why that is so.

Re: module snd-virmidi missing?

The last post in this thread has instructions for compiling a kernel module without compiling the kernel:
