[mythtv-users] MythTV: Install & Configure Problem: Running ./setup crashes, cant install?

[Tako Schotanus]

Most likely you missed the part in the docs that says: 5.1 Notes on 
compiling on a system with non-Intel processors. 
<http://mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.1>

Good luck!

First, before this is taken the wrong way, once I manage to get it working I will make it my own personal goal to write some very easy to follow, newbie-friendly docs for MythTV. I am new to MythTV, but have been a Linux user and web developer for 10 years since Yggdrasil.
