[mythtv-users] gentoo emerge of mythfrontend problem

[Harlan]

Hi Don,
  I had a similar problem when I emerged version 0.12.  The problem is that 
you really do need to have both mysql and qt installed.  I found it best to 
"emerge mysql qt" before, and as a separate emerge from, mythtv.  For 
whatever reason, I was not able to do "emerge mythfrontend" and get it to 
work.  I could "emerge mythtv", this then built mythfrontend as part of the 
mythtv package; no need to do "emerge mythfrontend" as a separate build.

Here is my USE variables from /etc/make.conf:
  USE="X gtk gnome alsa cups qt mysql"

I hope this helps.

Harlan...
