Install The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA)

Download UNIX Format Source Code and Build Environment package from The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project website.

Untar the UNIX Format Source Code and Build Environment (acpica) package:

root@hitam:~# mv /home/luzar/Desktop/acpica-unix-20081204.tar.gz /usr/local/src/
root@hitam:~# cd /usr/local/src/
root@hitam:~# tar zxvf acpica-unix-20081204.tar.gz 

Move the acpica source to a specific location for installation. I always use /usr/local directory to install external packages.

Install iasl compiler:

root@hitam:~# cd acpica-unix-20081204/compiler/
root@hitam:~# make
