Hi, Nisha

Run "make install" directly would cause error.
You can use the scripts under aslts/bin.

Suppose you put acpica and aslts under /tmp

export ASL=/tmp/acpica/compiler/iasl
export acpiexec=/tmp/acpica/tools/acpiexec/acpiexec
export ASLTSDIR=/tmp/aslts
chmod +x /tmp/aslts/bin/*
/tmp/aslts/bin/Do 0 aslts

See the aslts/HOW_TO_USE file for more detail.

See the main function at acpica/tools/acpiexec/aemain.c for the call
sequence.
