At the console (locally or remotely via ssh/telnet,) "killall lircd"
then load "lircd -n &" and type "irw". If irw exits immediately and
lircd terminates at the same time, check your syslog
(/var/log/messages) for indications of your lirc is compiled to use
it.

I had this problem using the rpm for lirc on atrpms using lirc_serial.
I went back to my cvs checkout of lirc because of it.

My syslog said something about /dev/lirc not being present. Seemed
like a problem with the modules…

I hope this helps.
