It appears you have no C compiler. Try installing TinyC from the Pupget menu. (Puppy doesn't come with a C compiler.)

See the "How to compile apps for Puppy" page, linked off the Developer projects page, linked off the main Puppy page.
Which is:
http://www.goosee.com/puppy/development/compileapps.htm

But, you shouldn't have to compile anything.
If you do compile, the host distro must be running the EXACT SAME kernel as in Puppy.
I'm not sure exactly if pup 1.0.3 will use the 2.6.11.11 kernel or later.
...anyway, I'll post the kernel compile config file soon.
You will need Vector Lenux 5.0STD and will need to follow the instructions on the How to compile the kernel page.

i know that the tinyC package comes as a .tar.gz tarball but in what file format does it need to be for installation?

http://www.rpmseek.com/ Look here to find a ALSA rpm file .
Mosty they work in PUPPY if you take type i386 .

To compile ALSA you also have to have 'make' and I ame afraid that you will have to download a lot of 'include' file's . Most of them are , as far I remember , in 'glibc-devel-xxxx.rpm' .
