Do you have binutils and the linux-headers packages installed?
What version of mythbuntu are you running?

Hello,
I've been working on a MythTV on Mythbuntu project for a little while now and I've come to the step of setting up
a serial ir blaster. My motherboard did not come with a serial port so I purchased an Iocrest PCI-Express Multi
I/O Controller serial card. I see the card when typing in "lspci" in a CLI. However, I've determined the
card needs a driver, because when I put the command to find my ir blaster, "dmesg | grep tty" it oly
comes up with "[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled". When i plug the ir blaster into an older lubuntu
computer I have I get "[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 1.029792] 00:08: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A". So it
seems to find the blaster on the older computer, probably because the serial port is built into the
motherboard. So, I found and downloaded the linux driver for the card that needs to be compiled.
I've extracted the zip file the driver is in, navigate to the directory where the makefile is and
then enter the command "make". I then get these errors:
"hometheater@Hometheater:~/Downloads/Serial

Here is the makefile as well:

rm -rf .tmp_version*"
Can anyone help me successfully compile this driver?
Thanks!
