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

[and]

I'm also using a pvr250, rh9 and atrpms along Jarods howto, and I have 
great problems getting lircd to work.

One thing that I found a while ago was the the lirc atrpms installed 
into /usr/bin and the 0.7 cvs source into /usr/local/bin (...at least 
on my system), and that was making lirc fail because it on my system 
had two versions (one from my 2.4.20-8 and one from my 2.4.20-20_23.1 
install).

I had to manually delete all of this,  install from cvs and edit the 
/etc/init.d/lircd to point to the right directories.
It's working great now.

Did you try anything like this?
