[mythtv-users] LIRC help

[Andy Long]

Followed Jarod's guide to setup LIRC.  Everything seems to be fine, the
service gives me an "OK" when I start it.  When I run /usr/bin/irw though,
it doesn't do anything, just drops me back to another command input line.
When I run it again, I get a "connection refused message.  By this point,
the lircd service has crashed.  Anyone know what the issue here might be?
I'm using the IR receiver that comes with my PVR-250.   This was installed
according to Jarod's guide using apt-get.

Here's what I'm seeing
