Yes, definitely do that if you didn't already.

So I'm confused now. Do you have any lirc source-based install, or only 
rpm at this point?

The /sbin/chkconfig lircd on SHOULD do the trick... If you'd already 
done that, I dunno. You definitely shouldn't be having to remove 
/dev/lircd. Oh, and the correct device file is actually /dev/lirc...
