I was able to make this work in 0.5.4 also. I wasn't able to compile 0.5.4 with the "usual" debian/rules however, it seems you need to do something magic regarding the -fPIC flag (which I don't understand well)..
gcc -fPIC -Wall -Wall -O3 -Wno-unused-function -shared -o irman.so irmanin.o -lirman -ldl /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/libirman.a(irfunc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../lib/libirman.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [irman.so] Erreur 1 ... By enabling only the imonlcd driver however, I could compile the 0.5.4 release and get a shiny display up here, it's pretty neat! :) I strongly encourage people here to publish their .deb somewhere so we can reupload it. I could probably find a sponsor if that's the issue. A. -- Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur. Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.
