The RPMs work fine when properly configured, so trying to compile your
own is taking a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. You don't have bad code;
you have a bad configuration.

lirc has its own mailing list, with even more lirc experts than this
list. You might want to try there.

Otherwise, you don't really say where your current set up is failing.

Does the lircd daemon start up properly? Do you have /dev/lirc* devices
in place? What gets logged in the syslog?

Have you tried irw? Is /etc/lircd.conf in place?

Please define "hosed".
