Hi,

I have been trying to compile the lirc-modules-source but it fails to
compile on my system.

I have been trying to compile it with kernel 2.6.22rc7 source. I have
successfully compiled and installed the kernel from this source. Kernel
source is from a debian package, not vanilla kernel package.

Thanks,

Jason
