[ATrpms-devel] lirc kmdl build...?

[John Robinson]

I'm probably being stupid, or just don't know the right magic, but how 
should I go about building the lirc kmdl package? I need to because I've 
built my own kernel rpms.

I'm using CentOS 5, I've installed atrpms-rpm-config-168-1.noarch.rpm 
and am trying to follow instructions from 
http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/LCG_kernel_modules.html in 
particular using bkmdl.sh, but the build seems to go on forever, 
presumably in circles. I've spotted the following FATAL in the output:

Making install in lirc_serial

What to do?

Many thanks in advance,
