irw can't connect to irtrans

I have a new itrans Ethernet working. When I start the irserver my log shows:

I now want to see what IR codes are received, so I tried to run IRW but I get:

connect: No such file or directory

because there is no /var/run/lirc/lircd socket file.

Can someone tell me how to get irw to work with irtrans?

Thanks

Hi,
you cannot use lowlevel LIRC tools with the IRTrans device. Instead use the IRTrans tools (ASCII irclient) to learn IR Commands. You can also use the GuiClient.exe with Mono.
The reason is that LIRC does not support "intelligent" devices.

Here are some more tips regarding LIRC and IRTrans: viewtopic.php?f=25&t=19

Is it possible to make irclient64 show button presses on screen (running in a bash shell on linux) to print out:

1. Remote+Button presses as they are received (for defined buttons)
2. Hex codes/raw presses as they are received (for undefined buttons)

Similar to what IRW does...
