[flashrom] Update BIOS fail

[Barry Krauter]

Hi Carl-Daniel

I got the 9.1 version from Ubuntu Synaptic.



I went to your website and downloaded flashrom-0.9.4.tar.bz2. I copied file
to /home/barry

in Terminal I did $ tar jxf /home/barry/flashrom-0.9.4.tar.bz2

This created /home/barry/flashrom-0.9.4 directory

I then did

cd /home/barry/flashrom-0.9.4

then

# ./configure
# make
# make install

These commands executed with no messages.

When i do command flashrom -R I still see version 9.1.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Barry
