Error inserting lirc_dev

[<fek...@fr...>]

Hi All!

I've successfully compiled lirc (0.8.1 under ubuntu 6.10) with a new 
kernel (2.6.18.6 downloaded from kernel.org), but the modprobe has failed.

root@kriszta-Ubuntu:/usr/src/lirc-0.8.1# modprobe lirc_gpio
WARNING: Error inserting lirc_dev 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18.6-custom/misc/lirc_dev.ko): Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting lirc_gpio 
(/lib/modules/2.6.18.6-custom/misc/lirc_gpio.ko): Unknown symbol in 
module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg:
lirc_dev: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
lirc_gpio: Unknown symbol lirc_unregister_plugin
lirc_gpio: Unknown symbol lirc_register_plugin


I've read in the lirc-list archivum, that symlink linux must to the 
actual kernel-source point. This is obvious. This was also necessary for 
kernel compiling , so that  was the  case.

What is the solution in this situation.

Thanks

Krisztian
