[Linux, x64, alsa] Could not locate OpenAL library

[nafur]

Hello,

I'm trying to get lwjgl to work... and my problem is openal.
when trying to start some projekt, I get these messages:

open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory
open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory

after some back and forth because I thougt it was only related to an 64bit issue, I now read this thread: http://lwjgl.org/forum/index.php/topic,1443.0.html
As my system is alsa-only too, i'm quite sure that it's all about alsa...

I have the openal source here and already tried to compile it, but without success (it did compile, but it didn't work... so probably no alsa...)
how do I have to compile it to get alsa support?
or is the problem something different again?

[Edit]
I tried a bit and tried it this way:
./configure --with-alsa --without-oss && make
that compiles... but doesn't work :-(
