Where did you get this from?
Unless you have three lirc devices, this will point to a non-existing  
device.
Use "mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0" if the correct device is not created  
automatically upon loading the kernel module.

Hi Christoph,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I removed /dev/lirc


and then I recreated it with:
"mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0"

Started lircd with
"/usr/local/sbin/lircd -n"


Did:
irsend  LIST "" ""

Still the same thing happens.

The lircd process dies.


"cat /var/log/lircd" shows"
Jun 17 14:10:09 fc4lt1 lircd: lircd(sir) ready
Jun 17 14:10:16 fc4lt1 lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
Jun 17 14:10:16 fc4lt1 lircd: could not open /dev/lirc
Jun 17 14:10:16 fc4lt1 lircd: default_init(): No such device
Jun 17 14:10:16 fc4lt1 lircd: caught signal



To be sure, I even started lircd with explicit arguments:
"/usr/local/sbin/lircd -n  --device=/dev/lirc  --output=/dev/lircd"

And I did:
"chmod 666 /dev/lirc"


Still the same results:
lircd: lircd(sir) ready
lircd: accepted new client on /dev/lircd
lircd: could not open /dev/lirc
lircd: default_init(): No such device
lircd: caught signal
Terminated


So I still have the same problem.
