Installation of PCI Utilities
Install PCI Utilities by running
the following commands:
sed -i 's/null ;/null 2>\&1 ;/' update-pciids.sh &&
make PREFIX=/usr
This package does not come with a test suite.
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
which-2.16 script or program to find
cURL-7.15.3, Wget-1.10.2 or Lynx-2.8.6 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.
