[mythtv-users] Please Help with an LIRC problem

Ok, I figured out the problem. The last time I compiled lirc I noticed
that it was looking to /usr/src/linux for kernel source. I hadn't
changed the symlink to point to my newly rolled kernel 2.6.11 so it was
still pointing to the old Suse 9.2 kernel sources 2.6.8-24.11-default. I
did a cvs update, and changed the symlink (as well as my lilo config to
point to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11) to make the /usr/src/linux point
to /usr/src/linux-2.6.11/ recompiled lirc and everything worked!!!!

I don't know if the lirc guys watch this list, but it would be nice if
they could make the install look to /usr/src/uname -r/ instead
of /usr/src/linux/ for kernel sources.

Thanks for the help on this guys!

Rob
