Hmmm.... I am not getting the error messages you describe when starting 
mythfrontend. Incidently, I just configured recompilied lirc to see if that 
made a difference, and then I have set it up for xine (native support) and 
it works fine too (the conf file for this being /home/mythtv/.lircrc). So I 
don't think there's anything wrong with my lirc setup.
