[mythtv] Help to make MythTV 'ebuild' for Gentoo Linux

[Hopeless]

I ran into this problem and had a simple fix, at least with the ditrib I'm
running (rh8.0). Hidden away with the RPMs was a file called
qt-MySQL-3.0.5-17.i386.rpm. I installed it and voila. It's a similar
problem when installing PHP and MySQL. If you look on your distrib CDs you
may find a similar file.
