Hey guys not often im stumped but i have a real problem.
I cant run the reconfigure command on Lirc as it stopped working so i removed it and all corresponding directories for a fresh start and im getting this:
derek@dungeon:/$ sudo apt-get install -y lirc

When i tried to run the reconfigure it was displaying the lines above about recompiling something.
Really stuck - this PC is an oldie from 2005 with a core 2 duo and a 750ti Nvidia and has NEVER failed me so far so i know its not hardware there must be some software problem - im running the latest ubuntu dev build.
Any help appreciated - and i did read about patching the kernel but long time since i rebuilt a kernel from scratch or such like.
Cheers
Derek
