Re: problem installing lirc: Makefile:385: *** missing separator. Stop.

[Jeff H Z. <je...@do...>]

I got the same problem couple of days ago. You have to re-compile the kernel
and compile lirc afterwards. At least you just need to set the configure file
for your running kernel, the procedure is:
1. Open kernel Makefile and find EXTRAVERSION variable, delete "custom"
string if you use single -processor;
2. make mrproper;
3. make menuconfig and exit from it by saving the configuration without
making any changes;
4. make dep;
5. make clean.

Then configure lirc and make it. I am using RedHat 7.3 (kernel 2.4.18-3), it
works fine.
