Hi
I'm relatively new to the world of Linux, and am stumped with the configure part of installing LIRC (< http://www.lirc.org/ >).

I've installed the kenel source, gnu utils and GCC packages from the MyDSL repositary. When I try to run the setup script for LIRC it returns the following after running it:

Quote

configure: error:*** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed for this driver

earlier in the script it says

Quote

checking for Linux kernel sources... no Makefile found

Now I don't really know what I'm doing, can anyone help? I'm assuming I'm going to have to pass the path to it myself using an option, is the correct path
just
/usr/src/?
or
/usr/src/linux/ ?
or
/usr/src/linux-2.4.26/?
or should I point it into a subfolder of these as I'm not really sure what the script is looking for..

thanks in advance
