[mythtv] Lirc and Redhat9?

[cmisip]

In redhat 9 the linux source is in /usr/src/linux-2.4  Not in
/usr/src/linux (which is where it is in Mandrake ).  

If you are trying to prepare the kernel for modules compilation: (not
actually building a new kernel) then you should have run at least a make
dep in your kernel source directory.  

You need to copy the config for your current kernel from /boot to
/usr/src/linux-2.4 and then rename it to .config there.  Then do a make
oldconfig.  And then edit the top level Makefile and comment out the
"custom" on the extraversion line for this kernel.   Then make dep.

See the section on compiling modules.

For compiling lirc itself

Hope this helps
