So there is not a (fatal) error in your software or configuration. This 
is a hardware error. There are shell commands on the RPi to control the 
pins:

echo 17 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/direction
echo 1  > /sys/class/gpio/gpio17/value

will turn on the gpio pin 17. Check all components until it works. Leave 
Lirc out of the question for now.
