First of all, please forgive me if this question has been answered elsewhere. I did search extensivly for a solution before posting here to no avail. Following a disk crash that lost my entire system (note to self, no more IBM scsi drives and no more lack of backups), I have been working on getting my machine back in order. I have it nearly there, but I cannot get lirc to work again. I have an ASkey bt878 card (card=22 tuner=2 radio=1 are the modprobe options used) and it works fine. Onboard, it has an IR reciever that in the past has worked fine with the lirc_gpio driver. When I try to emege lirc with this driver selected, it fails.
| Code: |
export LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=lirc_gpio"
-----cut some stuff-----
checking for Linux kernel sources... /usr/src/linux/
configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed
for this driver
ls -l /usr/src
total 2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 15 14:07 linux -> linux-2.6.9-rc1-mm5

drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 1320 Sep 22 22:48 linux-2.6.9-rc1-mm5
# uname -r
2.6.9-rc1-mm5

Understandably, this confuses me. When I try to use
| Code: |
export LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=gpio"
|
the results are
| Code: |
configure: error: *** it is not possible to install the specified driver
on this system
|
I attempted to manually install lirc from source with the same results. The curious thing about attempting to do this, the driver list for lirc-0.7.0pre7 (the version I have been trying to use for each attempt) does not list gpio or lirc_gpio as avaliable drivers. The list follows
| Code: |

Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do about this? I know I had lirc working perfectly before on my old system, but I'm not sure exactly what versions of things I had installed. I think the kernel was 2.6.5mm and I have no idea about lirc itself. I do recall there being options in the kernel config for lirc drivers which are not present in my 2.6.9-rc1-mm5. Any help is very much appreciated. Just in case it matters, follows is the dmesg output related to the tv card

I use an internal loopback cable to get sound, so the errors about tvaudio do not concern me. Thanks again in advance.
