There is none, recommended procedure for lirc is therefore (I forgot in the last mail): 5. apt-get install lirc-modules-source cd /usr/src tar xvfz lirc-modules.tar.gz cd linux dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source in the case you have debconf set to critical do not use automagical but set your ir receiver by hand make-kpkg modules_image dpkg -i ../lirc-modules*.deb This way you have a modules package installed. Alternatively you can install lirc the standard way, which is what I do. HTH, Torsten ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

I my guess is correct, you don't want to compile your own kernel, so this is what you need to do: 1. get the kernel sources: apt-get install kernel-source-2.6.7 2. unpack the kernel sources: cd /usr/src tar xvfj kernel-source-2.6.7.tar.bz2 3. copy the kernel config and compile a kernel cp /boot/config-2.6.7-1-686-smp /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7/.config cd /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7 make oldconfig make 4. link the modules/.../build to you kernel sources ln -s /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7 /lib/modules/2.6.7-1-686-smp/build ln -s /usr/src/kernel-souce-2.6.7 /usr/src/linux Now the compile should work BTW, maybe you should give KnoppMyth a try: http://mysettopbox.tv That is, if all you want is a working mythbox, If you want to learn linux, go ahead the way you are heading now. Torsten P.S. Oops, thought I read "debian" there, but it was in the next message's header. But judging from your kernel name I guess it's still debian. ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
Re: [mythtv-users] installing ivtv
the easiest way i found to get ivtv and lirc to compile was to build a custom kernel rather than use a precompiled one. d2k2 k7 wrote: i am having a lot of problems installing ivtv could somebody help, please i am not an linux expert. i get the following error when i try to execute make debian:/usr/src/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3/driver# make make -C /lib/modules/2.6.7-1-686-smp/build SUBDIRS=/usr/src/ivtv-0.2.0-rc3/driver modules make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.7-1-686-smp/build: No such file or directory.
