FW: Cannot install GIRS driver

Ok, mode2 gives me this (after sudo -i):


mode2 --driver girs --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 Using driver girs on device
/dev/ttyUSB0 Trying device: /dev/ttyUSB0 Using device: /dev/ttyUSB0 Running
as regular user master


So, something is happening.


Unfortunately irsend fails again:


root@TVHEADEND:/var/run/lirc# irsend SEND_ONCE LE55A956 KEY_1
do_connect: could not connect to socket
connect: Connection refused
Cannot open socket /var/run/lirc/lircd: Connection refused


I created a lircd.conf ind /var/run/lirc. The lircd.conf is workings  as I
used it before with a different solution.


PS I did recompile using 

cd /tmp
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc-0.9.4d.tar.bz2
tar -jxf lirc-0.9.4d.tar.bz2
cd lirc-0.9.4d
aclocal && autoheader && autoconf
./configure --prefix=/usr
make && sudo make install

Rebooted after that

(Aside: consider

git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/lirc/git

--with-driver is obsolete, and I *think* --with-x too.

See below.

Sigh... Why the Lirc configuration does this as default, after all these
years, is beyond me ... If you configure with

--sysconfdir=/etc  --localstatedir=/var

alternatively

--prefix=/usr

I think it should work.

Interestingly enough, all the problems are with Lirc, none sofar with
Girs/AGirs...

First thing to try is

% mode2 --driver girs --device=/dev/ttyUSB0

Greetz,
