Hmm. I was having this problem a lot with the very early versions of Pierogi, but I thought I managed to fix it. Originally, this due to Pierogi not releasing the /dev/lirc0 device when the program exited. So maybe I've still got some subtle issue there...

The problem might resolve itself by closing and restarting Pierogi again. (All the recent versions of Pierogi should be pretty good at making sure the device gets released when finished running.)

Also, I should mention that only one app can use the /dev/lirc0 device at a time, so if you're using another IR app (such as QtIrreco or Raemote), that might be why Pierogi can't access the device...
