Compileing lirc on centos 4.1

[geisj at pagestation.com (Jerry Geis)]

I am trying to compile lirc.0.7.1 from www.lirc.org and it is indiacting 
that
kernel source is not installed.

I then installed kernel source and ran the ./configure again. Same message
about kernel not being installed.

ANyone compiled lirc.0.7.1 on centos 4.1?
OR want to try downloading it (very small) and try running ./configure. 
Just select
save default config and run configure on the first menu. default should 
be a serial control setup.

THanks,

Jerry
