I used the following command to solvee the missing kernel problem.

./configure --with-port=0x3f8 --with-irq=4 --with-transmitter --enable-sandboxed --with-driver=serial --with-kerneldir=/lib/modules/2.6.9-11.EL/build

Things are going much better now..

Karanbir,

I am still having problems. I grabbed the rpm and installed it. I could not get a /dev/lircd device. I put the lirc.rules in /etc/udev/... even rebooted and still not there.

I then grabbed the src rpm, went through the normal stuff and tried to run ./configure and it tells me I need the kernel source installed. I have the kernel source installed.

I am just selecting the default of serial when I run ./configure.

I would like to do this from the source package - but the kernel source keeps stopping that...

Any further ideas? Jerry

You might want to take a look at how its packaged, make changes etc in the .spec and rebuild for your own needs.

I'll take a look at the issue later in the day, when I am near a build machine... but take a look at the '--with kmod' option in the .spec - By default the kernel modules are not built.

w.r.t the kernel source - you need to get the kernel-*.src.rpm from mirror.centos.org/centos/4/SRPMS/ and install that, also check to make sure that configure script is looking at the right place for it.
