[mythtv-users] OT: lirc-0.7.0pre2 installation confusion

[James Pifer]

I have 0.7.0pre2 installed. When it starts I get this in messages:
Nov 18 09:51:48 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre2[3707]: lircd(hauppauge) ready
Nov 18 09:51:48 mythtv lircd: lircd startup succeeded

When I try to start irw it immediately goes right back to a prompt and I
get this in messages:
Nov 18 09:51:53 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre2[3707]: accepted new client on
/dev/lircd
Nov 18 09:51:53 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre2[3707]: could not open /dev/lirc
Nov 18 09:51:53 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre2[3707]: default_init(): No such
device 
Nov 18 09:51:53 mythtv lircd 0.7.0pre2[3707]: caught signal

I have this in /dev:
[root at mythtv /]# ls -l /dev/lirc*
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      61,   0 Nov  4 18:25 /dev/lirc
srw-rw-rw-    1 root     root            0 Nov 18 09:51 /dev/lircd
prw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Oct 29 13:53 /dev/lircm

Any suggestions are more than welcome!

Thanks,
James
