I did run "./configure --help |grep lirc" (see towards bottom of thread).
All I get is "--disable-lirc".  There is no specific enable option.  Just
for the hell of it though I recompiled xine with --enable-lirc just to see
what it would do.

Here's a new though.  Could xine be looking for /dev/lirc ?  Since my lirc
dev is actually /dev/lirc/lirc0 I couldn't even make a symlink to it since
/dev/lirc is a directory already there.
Is there a way I can verify which /dev/ device xine is looking for?  and
perhaps change it if need be?

Thanks
Malcolm
