Re: Trouble loading modules on RH 7.3

[Chuck W. <ch...@qu...>]

Followup on my previous post. I solved the module loading problem. It
appears that the stock implementation of gcc on RedHat (currently
gcc-2.96-113 on my system) will *NOT* compile the lirc modules correctly.  
You have to install the compat-egcs package (currently
compat-egcs-6.2-1.1.2.16 on my system) and then edit the configure file
that comes with lirc and change all occurrances of gcc to kgcc. After
that, compile as instructed on the website.

This is what worked for me. YMMV... If it doesn't work for you, let me 
know, perhaps there's something I left out...

I knew this about RH 7.x from a long time ago, but apparently didn't put
2+2 together until tonight. 

Also, this knowledgebase article will probably be helpful too:
