Hello all,
I'm converting my htpc from debian -> gentoo and I have some problems with mythtv.
I use lirc-0.8.0_pre1 (from a butchered 0.7.2 ebuild) with gentoo-sources-2.6.14-r2 and a custom-built serial receiver and everything works fine in mplayer, xine & even mythfrontend using irxevent, however native lirc doesn't work in mythfrontend.
I use the same lircrc I had in debian (which works correctly) and have lirc in my USE flags.

Any suggestions ?

Just a random thought, but do you have a lirc conf in ~/.mythtv/ as well as in ~/ ?

Apparently that is where mythtv needs it, while xine etc use the one in ~/

Sure, I have a ~/.mythtv/lircrc symlinked to ~/.lircrc . Xine & Mplayer work fine with it and mythfrontend with irxevent. However irxevent crashes all the time & it's quite annoying...

Please read my post before answering. The remote works, the problem is on mythfrontend.

Could anyone, having mythfrontend running with native lirc, send me the output of
Code:
$ for i in /usr/lib/libmyth*.so /usr/bin/myth*; do \
if ldd $i | grep -q liblirc; then echo $i; fi; done

pls ?

Phantom1000, thanx a lot.
On my system no myth* lib/bin is linked with liblirc. I suspect the problem is caused by
lirc-0.8.0-pre1.
I'll try with 0.7.x on Monday since I'll be away away from home the whole weekend.

btw. which lirc & kernel versions you have installed ?

Kernel is 2.6.12, LIRC is version 7.2.

Installing lirc-0.7.2 with this fix https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-401338-highlight-count.html
for compatibility with 2.6.14 & re-emerging mythtv did the trick.
Now it's linked correctly with liblirc_client.so.0 and it works.
So I guess people should stay away from lirc-0.8.x until mythtv-0.18.2 or 0.19 is out :).
