I hate that mixed german / english terminal output in localised linux versions :&

Possible solution: install missing libraries.

you'd better try package version if you don't know what 'error: this packages requires a curses library' means ;)

(note: it's not an irony, messages in linux aren't too descriptive at first :P a curses library is probably libncurses or something like that but on fail distros like ubuntu when you're installing through packages you have to install the dev version - it should be libncurses-dev or sth like that - to be able to compile using it )

Got Realtek AC'97? You don't need to compile a driver, it's already included;
Try running "sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel", then run "dmesg" and paste me the last 10 lines.

Did you remove the sound drivers or something?
Do either
sudo aptitude install linux-ubuntu-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic
or
sudo aptitude install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` linux-generic

and try again

Try to modprobe ac97.
You can also try to open sound panel and enable sorround channel, keep it high and try to open a sound file.
