Need help getting the lirc daemon up an running on SuSE11.1

Well I am lost, so need a few pointers to get me started... I am running
SuSE11.1 and need to get the lirc daemon up an running. Searching around
on the internet I get quite a bit of difference information that relates
to various other distro's or versions and nothing I can find seem to
apply to SuSE. I have use YaST to install all the pertinent packages for
LIRC, installed the config files for /etc/lircd.conf and .lircrc in my
home directory as I was instructed to do. Most of the documentation I
have read seem to imply there should be a device - /dev/lirc but I do
not find such. Trying to start the lircd service gives me an error
saying as much...

So what do I have to do to get the lircd service up an running under
SuSE11.1? Much appreciate any and all help offered..
