I've installed a Crystal HD PCIe card in an older (white core duo) iMac running Lucid 10.04. I downloaded the drivers from Broadcom's site and couldn't find a readme so I started googling. I found some CrystalHD libraries in Synaptic, but it appears that I still need the actual drivers.
I found this thread and attempted to follow atbrandt's steps to build the installer, but when I get to step 4 and attempt to ./configure I get the following:
As you can probably already tell, I'm kind of a Linux idiot and don't know what I'm doing. So my questions are either 1) Am I doing something wrong or 2) is there a better way to load up these drivers, since that post is from January? My goal is to get the CrystalHD stuff working in the following apps in this order 1) XBMC 2) Boxee 3)MythTV (When they announce native support).
Thanks in advance and always I apologize for my ignorance.
EDIT: Wow, it's been a while since I've logged on here, ignore the specs in my sig.
