I guess that the lirc daemon is not running. It the daemon is not
running you will get: connect: Connection refused.
An easy test that can be used for all sort of simple problems is to use
python in the freevo environment, like
# freevo prompt
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jan 24 2009, 14:48:40)
[GCC 4.1.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pylirc
>>> import config
>>> pylirc.init('freevo', config.LIRCRC)
freevo: could not connect to socket
freevo: Connection refused
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: Unable to initialize lirc!
# start the lircd and try again.
>>> pylirc.init('freevo', config.LIRCRC)
3
>>>
