============ Checking for lircc ============

#include <lirc/lircc.h>
int main(void) { return 0; }

gcc -O4 -march=pentium2 -mcpu=pentium2 -pipe -ffast-math 
-fomit-frame-pointer -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE 
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64    /home/dano/tmp/mplayer-conf-29800-7455.c -o 
/home/dano/tmp/mplayer-conf-30652-7455.o -llircc
/home/dano/tmp/mplayer-conf-29800-7455.c:1:24: lirc/lircc.h: No such file 
or directory

ldd /home/dano/tmp/mplayer-conf-30652-7455.o
ldd: /home/dano/tmp/mplayer-conf-30652-7455.o: No such file or directory

Result is: no

I searched the lirc sources, but there is no such file: lircc.h
Where is that file?
