[mythtv-users] native lirc - settings.pro - which is right?

I'm trying to get my Hauppauge grey remote to work with my 350.
Over here:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.2

It says settings.pro should look like this:

# Native lirc support
CONFIG += using_lirc
EXTRA_LIBS += -llirc_client

Yet inside of settings.pro it really looks like this:

# Native lirc support
CONFIG += using_lirc
EXTRA_LIBS = -llirc_client

Notice the missing "+" in the last line.  Which way is it supposed to be?  
I've tried recompiling MythTV 0.14 both ways and still cannot get my remote 
to work in Myth.

Here's what I get when I start the frontend:

[root at mythtv lirc-0.7.0pre2]# mythfrontend
2004-02-05 01:27:51 mythfrontend version: 0.14.20040123-1 www.mythtv.org
2004-02-05 01:27:51 Enabled verbose msgs : important general
mythtv: could not connect to socket
mythtv: No such file or directory
lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages
2004-02-05 01:27:52 Registering Internal as a media playback plugin.

( BTW - I have no idea what file or directory it's looking for.  There's 
nothing in /var/log/messages and starting "mythfrontend -v all" doesn't 
reveal anything more)

Everything else in Myth seems to work though, despite that "no such file or 
directory" error.

lsmod |grep lirc
[root at mythtv video]# lsmod |grep lirc_
lirc_i2c                4420   0
lirc_dev                9200   1  [lirc_i2c]
i2c-core               13828   0  [lirc_i2c ivtv saa7127 saa7115 msp3400 tuner 
i2c-algo-bit]

ps -ef|grep lirc
root     11601     1  0 01:27 ?        00:00:00 [lirc_dev]
root     11610     1  0 01:27 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/lircd

If I type "irw" and press buttons on the remote it echos to the screen which 
button on my remote is been pressed so I think LIRC is working.  I just need 
to get the myth part working.

Thanks
