Now, as the root user: make PREFIX=/usr install Some packages require the PCI static library. To install the library and headers, issue the following commands as the root user: install -v -m 755 -d /usr/include/pci && install -v -m 644 lib/libpci.a /usr/lib && install -v -m 644 lib/*.h /usr/include/pci Command Explanations sed -i 's/null ;/null 2>\&1 ;/' update-pciids.sh: This command suppresses some unneeded screen output from the update-pciids command if you don't have either Lynx or Wget installed by redirecting the stderr output of the embedded which command to /dev/null. Configuring PCI Utilities 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. You may wish to add an entry to root's (or any other user who has write privilege to /usr/share) crontab to automatically update the pci.ids file periodically.
