Verify that when you compiled SVN trunk you enabled native LIRC 
support.  Note that this doesn't mean, "verify you said to enable native 
LIRC support with --enable-lirc."  It means to verify that it was 
actually enabled (i.e. able to find the required libs/headers).  Look at 
the output of the configure script (and "mythfrontend --version" and 
"ldd /path/to/mythfrontend").
