I appreciate your response, it doesn't work here for some reason.
As a test, I downloaded a new CVS version of LIRC, and it does OK on
./autogen.sh
./setup.sh
but fails on "make" just like the debian package I have.
I built my running kernel myself, the "debian way", and I would think this
should work.
I am googling my brains out, trying to find what's going on.
Thanks again
