I just installed lirc on my latest gentoo installation. It required the
use of lirc cvs and a few other steps. This forum page helps greatly:

You also might encounter some problems compiling the lirc cvs as well.
I needed to issue the make command as root for it to finish, then it
would get an error at line 813 in lirc_dev.c. I believe just commenting
it out solved this problem. I then needed to follow the steps discussed
in the last post in that forum page, ie mknod etc.
Hope that helps.
