Hi All :-)

Thanks for the tutorial... it looks like it would do the job, except for one sticking point I appear to be having (and I don't think I'm alone).

Now I've done quite a bit of searching and I've read this entire thread, but still no go.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid (fresh install), and I have a Thelmaltake DH-101 case with the iMon VFD/IR receiver built in the front.

This is what I've done:

Code:

sudo apt-get install lirc-modules-source cvs build-essential dialog libtool automake1.9 autoconf
sudo apt-get build-dep lirc lcdproc
sudo apt-get remove lirc lcdproc

Check.

Code:

sudo mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
sudo cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

Confirmed that the device Vendor=152c and ProdID=0038 is present and Driver=none, so skipping to dragging down CVS repository

Code:

cvs -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/lirc login
cvs -z8 -d:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/lirc co lirc
cd lirc
./autogen.sh
./setup.sh

Yep no probs.. used empty password and all files downloaded successfully.

Code:

make

Here's where things get pear shaped... here's the output (I've bolded where I think the problems are:

There were two people on the reference site (http://mythtvblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/g...-lirc.html) who reported the same issue, however no fix/workaround was posted.

Can anyone be of any assistance?
