I've just installed lirc and /dev/lircd dosn't exists. Part of the lirc documentation ( http://www.lirc.org/html/install.html ) : ========================================================= Now you should adjust the file permissions of /dev/lircd (this is the Unix domain socket that clients use to connect to lircd) so others than root can connect to lircd.
chmod 666 /dev/lircd should do. You can also create a special group for this purpose. If your hardware requires a kernel module you should make sure that the kernel will find the correct module if a program tries to access /dev/lirc. This can be done by inserting the following line to your /etc/conf.modules (/etc/modules.conf for current kernel versions): alias char-major-61 lirc_driver ========================================================= -------------- EXCEPTIONNEL!
