Re: error while loading shared libraries: liblirc.so.0

I got the same error.  I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and I use the lircd for my
Haupauge PVR box.  After a kernel update, the lircd which was working for
over a year just stopped.   Not in kernel ???  My /dev/lirc0 is just
missing.  I was hoping that compiling the lircd would fix it.

I downloaded lircd 0.9.4d and ran the normal ./configure, make make install
and got the error that the liblirc.so.0 could not be found.

I did a 'find / | grep liblirc.so.0 and found a symbolic link with this name
pointing to liblirc.so.0.0.0 in the same folder which is /usr/local/lib 
Well I guessed that the broken make install was supposed to put it in the
/usr/lib.  

So I ran this:   ln -s /usr/local/lib/liblirc.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/liblirc.so.0

This justs add a second symbolic link pointing to the correct file and fixed
my problem with the missing library file.
