Installing lirc

I have a Hauppauge PVR-350 installed & running mythtv.  I'm trying to get my remote for this card working.  I tried downloading the lirc source and compiling, but the setup.sh script that comes with the package keeps setting up a line that says 

--with-moduledir=/lib/modules/2.6.16-ARCH/misc

but there is no such directory, and ./configure spits out that error.  Anyone know what it is trying to point to?  I'm just learning to install this kind of thing from source, so I apologize if this should be obvious.

Re: Installing lirc

Its in the extra repo.

I compiled it from source a couple of months ago.

Also if you are running kde theres a good program called irkick. I'd use it if it wasnt based around kde apps.

Re: Installing lirc

Thanks, I found & installed that.  I'll need to do some research to see how to get it to work with the PVR-350, not sure where it will find the card's IR.
