Now, as the root user: make PREFIX=/usr \ SHAREDIR=/usr/share/hwdata \ SHARED=yes \ install install-lib && chmod -v 755 /usr/lib/libpci.so SHARED=yes: This parameter enables building of the shared library instead of the static one. ZLIB=no: This option prevents compression of the pci.ids file. The pci.ids data file is constantly being updated. To get a current version of this file, run update-pciids as the root user. This program requires the script or program to find , or which are used to download the most current file, and then replace the existing file in /usr/share/hwdata. You may wish to add an entry to root's (or any other user who has write privilege to /usr/share/hwdata) crontab to automatically update the pci.ids file periodically.
