asus dh insallation problem on ubuntu

[Jeff A. <jef...@ho...>]

hello all,

I'm relatively new to Linux (and of course LIRC). with that in mind, i'm 
having a bit of a problem installing LIRC and i was hoping the list could 
help. when i first installed lirc, i accidentally installed the wrong 
driver. So i uninstalled that driver and installed the correct one. all 
seemed to go well. i ran make and make install without problems. But nothing 
seems to be happening. The remote (asus dh) doesn't do anything, and when i 
try and configure something in lircd i get:

lircd: there seems to already be a lircd process with pid 20076
lircd: otherwise delete stale lockfile /var/run/lircd/pid

anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Thanks in advance for the assistance
