2.6.14. Since this is so new, there is no patch for it yet from <a href="http://lirc.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">lirc.org</a>. Maybe I should wait for a patch. </div></span>
</div></blockquote><br></div><div>The kernel version per se shouldn't be a problem. I was running 2.6.14 on a Gentoo system that worked just fine with what they were calling lirc version 0.8.0_pre1 (before a HDD crash took the system down that is).
</div><div><br></div><div>Gentoo has a version " lirc-0.8.0_pre3" that is claimed to have modifications for the 2.6.15 kernel, all I know about it is that it does not appear to work with 2.6.14.</div><div><br></div>
<div>But your header location problems should not be directly related to kernel version, more likely to a squirrely installation of kernel sources, a problem I've had with FC systems in the past.</div><br>
