thanks for your response!

the document says, that MythTV will overwrite any settings in
/usr/local/share/mythtv
but I'm not even able to start setup!

however, i tried what you suggested, but it makes no difference.
i had a look at the sources. the path to /usr/local/share/mythtv is
hardcoded (the prefix /usr/local/ comes from the makefile) and a normal user
has no permission to read this file.

do you run mythtv as a normal user?
thanks again
andreas
