[mythtv-users] I'm going mad obviously...lirc kernel Modules

[James Carrig]

And I thought it was just me.

I found:lirc-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2115_0.99.rhfc4.cubbi_swsusp2_8ksmp-0.8.1-cvs20060325_58.rhfc4.at.i686.rpm<http://dl.atrpms.net/all/lirc-kmdl-2.6.16-1.2115_0.99.rhfc4.cubbi_swsusp2_8ksmp-0.8.1-cvs20060325_58.rhfc4.at.i686.rpm>
at http://www.atrpms.net/dist/fc4/lirc-0.8.1/

but I don't know how to mix and match when yum can't find dependencies.  All
the yum documentation seems to assume it can always find the dependencies.

With no insult intended to the overworked volunteers who provide this
software, would it be easier just to provide sources and compile your own?
[I really don't know and welcome comments or advice on how to better use yum
when a dependency is missing.]
