Don,

I also had a problem getting native lirc working with Mandrake 9.2. 
Turned out I had old lirc library files on the drive laying around from
the Mandrake install.  I ended up doing "updatedb" and then "locate lirc"
and finding all the lirc files on the drive.  I deleted all of them.  Then
went back to my lirc install I was doing from source and installed it. 
Recompiled lirc and it worked.

Hope this helps
Thanks
Malcolm
