Just to pipe in, I have followed the advice here and I have the grey
remote working with xine.

The './configure' script may be looking for the LIRC headers and/or 
library in a particular location, and when it doesn't find it there it 
assumes you don't have LIRC on your system, and doesn't build in 
support.  You man need to do something like:

export CFLAGS=-I<path-to-lirc-headers>
export LDFLAGS=-L<path-to-lirc-libraries>

("CFLAGS"  might be "CXXFLAGS" or "CPPFLAGS", depending on your system/
compiler)

then run ./configure and see what happens.

Also, you can examine config.log after running the ./configure script 
and maybe see why (if) it's failing the test for LIRC...
