Re: Problems configuring Comedi for SuSE 9.0

On some earlier versions of comedi I had the same or similar problem.
Somehow the configure script couldn't find the file ".hdepend" in the kernel 
source directory, although it was there.
And all necessary path-variables etc. pointed to the kernel source dir....
I deleted this check from the configure-script (or you might copy the .hdepend 
into the local dir and modify the script) and it worked.
(Search for the error-string in the configure script and have a closer look at 
the condition that fails.)

Maybe this helps!
