[mythtv] Having run time problems?

[danielk]

If you are having problems running the latest MythTV master
please do this:

   sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/include/mythtv
   sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/lib/mythtv

   sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/share/mythtv
   sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/lib/libmyth*
   sudo rm -Rf /usr/local/bin/myth*

   Then do a distclean in both the mythtv and the mythplugins
   directories before rebuilding & reinstalling.

The first two rm's are necessary for most since we rarely
do a make uninstall before doing a git pull and rebuild
and install so cruft builds up. The next three rm's
eliminate any chance of old code in /usr/local causing
problems.

If you've ever installed from packages then repeat the
rm's above with /usr/local replaced with /usr. If you've
installed in some other location like opt, clean that
out likewise.

We're hearing reports of large virtual memory use, high CPU
use and crashes with code from the last week or so. But a
few of these have been fixed with a cleanup proceedure like
the one outlined above.
