I've been using lirc-0.7.0 ish version via CVS before 0.7.0 was officially released. This version worked. The version on portage I'm trying to use is lirc-0.7.0 (also tried -r1), I need the winfast_tv2000 driver. the command I'm usig is: LIRC_OPTS="--with-driver=winfast_tv2000" emerge lirc -va These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild N ] app-misc/lirc-0.7.0 -debug -doc -streamzap 0 kB configure bombs out with: 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 for portaudio.h... no checking for alsa/asoundlib.h... yes checking for snd_pcm_open in -lasound... yes configure: error: *** it is not possible to install the specified driver on this system !!!

okay, I got "winfast_tv2000" from the ebuild. The the driver doesn't exist with that name. I looked thru the ./setup.sh source which lead me to setup-driver.sh which lead me to find the name of the driver for the Winfast tv2000/XP is leadtek_0010 I propose the ebuild be modified to inform users that the driver name for tv2000/XP is leadtek_0010 perhaps go in as -r2 ?
thx, added
