Hi ! I can't emerge lirc with kernel 2.6.15r5 or 2.6.16r1. Too bad, because I would like to use the remote control of a Hauppauge PVR 350 on Pegasos PPC. My Gentoo install is brand new. Here is the emerge log : Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) app-misc/lirc-0.8.0 to / ... ... checking for Linux kernel sources... /usr/src/linux/ checking for which drivers can be installed on this system... checking for caraca_init in -lcaraca_client... no checking for ir_strerror in -lirman... no checking for ir_strerror in -lirman_sw... no checking portaudio.h usability... no checking portaudio.h presence... no checking for portaudio.h... no checking alsa/asoundlib.h usability... no checking alsa/asoundlib.h presence... no checking for alsa/asoundlib.h... no checking scsi/sg.h usability... yes checking scsi/sg.h presence... yes checking for scsi/sg.h... yes checking linux/input.h usability... yes checking linux/input.h presence... yes checking for linux/input.h... yes checking sys/soundcard.h usability... yes checking sys/soundcard.h presence... yes checking for sys/soundcard.h... yes configure: error: *** it is not possible to install the specified driver on this system !!!

Reopen with emerge --info and 'grep LIRC_OPTS /etc/make.conf' output.
(In reply to comment #1) > Reopen with emerge --info and 'grep LIRC_OPTS /etc/make.conf' output. > When you've talked about /etc/make.conf, I realized that I add added a useless LIRC_OPTIONS=hauppauge_dvb flag at the begining of my install a few fews ago because I thought I add to use DVB drivers (but it's ivtv). So I've just removed it, and it now works... Sorry for that...
Thanks for reporting back. The proper syntax is LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=ivtv" (see the ebuild for honored drivers).

You're right, the line must be there (if not it emerges lirc but does not use the right driver at the end). And... Now with "ivtv" it does not emerge again (sic !)

I have this issue. I need to install two LIRC drivers; one for Hauppage and one for Serial (IR Blaster). I used to use --with-driver=any, but that fails with this error. I have also tried --with-driver=hauppage alone, and --with-driver=ivtv alone, both fail. If i include both ivtv and --with-driver=serial, only the serial module is installed. I have tried LIRC 0.7.2 and 0.8.0, same result. :emerge info Portage 2.0.54-r2 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-gentoo-r7 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: [Not Present] dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.cites.uiuc.edu/pub/gentoo/ http://gentoo.chem.wisc.edu/gentoo/ http://prometheus.cs.wmich.edu/gentoo http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X alsa apache2 apm arts audiofile avi berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdr cli crypt dri dts dvd eds emboss encode expat fam flac foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 idn imagemagick imlib isdnlog jpeg kde lcms libg++ libwww lirc mad mikmod mmx mmxext mng motif mp3 mpeg mysql mythtv ncurses nls ogg oggvorbis opengl pam pcre pdflib perl png pppd python qt quicktime readline reflection sdl session spell spl sse ssl tcpd tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb vorbis xml2 xmms xorg xv zlib userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: CTARGET, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS, PORTDIR_OVERLAY :make.conf LIRC_OPTS="--with-x --with-driver=any --with-transmitter --with-major=61 --with-port=0x3f8 --with-irq=4"
Where do you got the "--with-driver=any". This must be "--with-driver=all". Perhaps this should be changed to LIRC_DRIVERS="... ... ..." which falls back to all if not specified.

Closed as this problem is based on wrong variable settings.
