I believe I have driver parameters confused with configure-driver parameter when building lirc. I have found wiki on using multiple devices (will have to create dev nodes I guess) and this looks good...will read on. I will reattempt reinstall of deb pkgs from pkg src per iguana's instructions and s/have a rebuilt lirc w/iguana...just need to figure out why their adapter ain't working. I have several receivers/xmitters/transceivers and would like to run as many as possibly just for testing purposes. mike Mike Klein wrote: > So I'm trying to cobble a test htpc together and am currently using a > PIII-500 (I know) on latest Ubuntu Linux baby 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP > Thu Nov 20 21:57:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux. > > As I'm using an iguanaIR (older one...exposed electronics) I needed to > follow iguana's instructions on rebuilding lirc deb pkgs after > installing their iguana deb. > > sudo apt-get update > sudo apt-get build-dep lirc > sudo apt-get -b source lirc > that should compile lirc packages that support our device.
