I have linux-headers-2.6.32-5-686 installed, which matches my kernel. I
tried running 'make oldconfig && make prepare' from
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-686 and got these errors:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common/scripts/Makefile.build:44: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common/scripts/basic/Makefile: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-5-common/scripts/basic/Makefile'. Stop.
make[2]: *** [scripts_basic] Error 2
make[1]: *** [sub-make] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
Funny thing is, I successfully build lirc on another similar (but not
identical) system. The two systems are my MythTV frontends. So I'm
pretty sure I'm not screwing up anything with module-assistant or
lirc. I purged all old kernel headers, but it did not seem to help.
