Description Olliver Schinagl 2009-10-03 00:44:08 UTC

lircd won't start because it can't write to /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid the directory /var/run/lirc does not exist. The ebuild should create the dir and give it proper permissions so that the startup script can start lirc properly.
running mkdir /var/run/lirc fixes that.
