[mythtv-users] Re: Help with Lirc installation

[Jim Dyer]

Dan,

I've hit exactly the same problem on my box.  To make matters
worse, ivtv no longer starts because of dependencies on lirc.

I'm also following Jarod's instructions and got thru
installation and a successful test of ivtv.  After I finsihed
the two apt-get's for lirc, suddenly ivtv no longer worked and I
received the same symptoms you report.

My box is a Shuttle SK41G (Athlon XP 2000+) with a PVR250
board.

(I haven't had much time to debug this, but it appears that a
different version of lirc had already been installed under the
primary redhat kernel module path.)

I have follow Jarod's step by step instruction to set up the
linux box. I have video captured with
sound. Then, I went ahead to install lirc. The problems appear
and this is what I got.


#sbin/depmod -ae

After I run 
# rpm -q lirc
gives me this

lirc-0.6.6-fr1

After # rpm -q lirc-kmdl-`uname -r`? 

package lirc-kmdl-2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at? is not installed

Then I run
#apt-get install lirc-kmdl-2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package lirc-kmdl-2.4.20-20_29.rh9.at

Oh, I uncommented this line in my sources.list then run apt-get
update
#rpm     http://apt.physik.fu-berlin.de redhat/9/en/i386

Any help is great appreciated.
