lirc setup error on KnoppMyth R5A12

Hi all:

I'm a newbie trying to get lirc 0.7.0 running with KnoppMyth.

When I try to configure lirc by running ./setup.sh I get the errors:

Code:

checking for getopt_long... yes
checking for mktemp... yes
checking for Linux kernel sources... missing
checking for which drivers can be installed on this system...
 
etcetera...then a few lines later:
configure error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel sourc installed.
             for this driver

The kernel sources are extracted. I'm running kernel 2.6.9-chw-4 . However, the source extracted is 2.6.9-chw . It is in the directory /kernel-source-2.6.9-chw.

I assume the question is how to tell the setup.sh for lirc that the sources are in the kernel-source-2.6.9-chw folder ? Can someone point me towards how to do this or what else I need to do to fix the problem...

thanks

I found the solution.

As is so often the case, a symlink was pointing to the wrong place. I put in a correct symbolic
link, and lirc configured and compiled just fine.
