[mythtv-users] Re:setup error: tv_grab_uk

[Mark McKelvey]

First post.  Trying to install using the MythTV How-To by Mr. 
Kulagowski on Mandrake 9.1.  Trying to follow the How-To exactly, but I 
must have goofed something.

All went well until I tried to compile XMLTV, where I got 
permissions-type errors and it failed the 'make'.  I did a chmod 777 on 
the xmltv directory, and then it compiled.

But...When I get to the backend setup step, and type in my zipcode so 
that the box can go find the list of providers for my area, it hangs 
with this in the terminal window:

linux setup # ./setup
Would you like to clear all capture card
settings before starting configuration? [no]  yes
Would you like to clear all program/channel
settings before starting configuration? [no]  yes
sh: line 1: tv_grab_uk: command not found

When I configured xmltv I only included tv_grab_na, so I'm confused as 
to why I get a tv_grab_uk error.  My suspicion is that xmltv is looking 
at some default config file and not the one that I generated.

Or else I quite possibly have no idea what the hell I am doing.  
Wouldn't be the first time.

What directory is XMLTV looking in when you run ./setup?

If this rings a bell for anyone, any advice would be appreciated.  I 
found a semi-similar post searching through the archives (setup error: 
Date::Manip, tv_grab_uk, posted Jul 7 by santellij at yahoo.com), but that 
poster found his answer in the Gentoo docs, which apparently had to do 
with time zone specifications but I have not been able to locate his 
fix.

I am running a Shuttle SS40G/PVR250.  I have installed MythTV several 
times from Jarod's how-to and Axel's RH9 packages, (even had it working 
once :)), but RH won't power down my box properly and I'd like to 
de-noob myself somewhat so I decided to try doing it from 'scratch' 
with Mandrake.

Thanks - Mark
