Hi Alec,

To clarify your mail

If i set the prefix to /usr the socket then created is at
/usr/var/run/lirc/lircd not /var/run/lirc/lircd as your mail says.

So I guess the prefix should be "" to get /var/run/lirc/lircd socket
which is the default place irw, irsend etc look too?

So that said, should a default build with no configure options, not put
the lircd socket exactly where the lirc apps expect?

And only not do that, when a --prefix= option on the configure is used?
