[mythtv] can't find -lavc1394

[Carl Reynolds]

I decided I wanted to try to compile MythTV.

I downloaded mythtv-0.18.1.tar.bz2 from mythtv.org

created a directory called 'mythtv' and extracted the tar ball in it.

# ./configure
# qmake mythtv.pro
# make

This is where I ran into problems. When the make got to libmyth it 
aborted with the message
   cannot find -lavc1394

I searched my system for libavc1394 and found it installed in /usr/lib64

I've tried a number of things to get libmyth to compile including 
re-installing libavc1394, and compiling libmyth without -lavc1394 in the 
Makefile. Nothing has helped.

Would someone please suggest what I should do next to get  MythTV to 
compile on my machine?


Thanks,
Carl.
