[mythtv-users] Problem with lirc install

[Dave]

I had this too
It's a bug  - create and empty file where it says it cannot find one called-

include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf
Sorry I cannot be more specific I'm in a rush - just use "touch
auto.conf" in include/config and it works
