1) First of all, you don't run 'mythtv', you run 'mythfrontend' and
'mythbackend' (actually, mythbackend won't run without the tuner card
(unless that's changed), but you can still run mythfrontend)

2) Check to see where libmyth-0.11.so.0 is.  Probably /usr/local/lib.  Check
to make sure it's readable by the user you're running Myth as.

3) Make sure the directory containing libmyth (/usr/local/lib ?) has an
entry in /etc/ld.so.conf

4) Run (as root) /sbin/ldconfig

5) If it still doesn't work, you've go other problems.

PS- Isaac (or anyone): is there any purpose to the 'mythtv' executable
anymore?  If it's obsolete, should we just remove it from the CVS head?
