In Linux operating systems, make sure the following software packages are installed:

<kernel_version>.
 gcc of the version with which the host kernel was compiled
 32-bit version of glibc 2.3.6 or later
 make or gmake
 the 32-bit version of the alsa-plugins-pulseaudio package in the Fedora 10 (64-bit) operating
