The lirc device file doesn't exist. I think that file should be created by udev. The atrpms mythtv-suite installs a lirc-devices rpm which addes a lirc.rules to udev. Those lirc rpms were compiled to use /dev/lirc0 thru /dev/lirc9 while your binaries are looking for a /dev/lirc/0. Maybe that is a configure option for compiling lircd. I have these devices: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -l /dev/lir* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 5 Dec 26 12:30 /dev/lirc -> lirc0 crw------- 1 root root 61, 0 Dec 26 12:30 /dev/lirc0 srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 26 12:30 /dev/lircd prw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 28 00:44 /dev/lircm You might need to use: ls -l /dev/lirc/* I guess that you either need to add a udev rule to create the lirc device files at boot time or create them with the mknod command. Something like this: mknod /dev/lirc/0 c 61 0 and maybe: ln -s /dev/lirc/0 /dev/lirc > Dec 28 13:51:36 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[8392]: default_init(): No such > file or directory > Dec 28 13:51:36 schmitzerLNX lircd-0.8.1-CVS[8392]: caught signal > > So whats going on here? > > Thanks again, > Ryan > > On 12/28/06, Roger J.
