[mythtv-users] Re: My Lirc problems - I'm dying here..

[and]

Sorry it was /usr/local/sbin for lircd and lircmd, and /usr/local/bin  
for irrecord, irw, etc

I had to reinstall from cvs source and edit the /etc/init.d/lircd to  
point to the new location of lircd and lircmd (/usr/local/sbin/) both  
in the top of the document and in the start/stop/restart scripts. One  
you restart with /etc/init.d/lircd restart, you just have to also start  
irxevent as mythtv user and thinhs should be fine (as long as you have  
the .lircdrc and lircd.conf in place)

good luck
