[mythtv-users] Mythtv on Slackware 9.1 ??

[Bborie Park]

In regards to the make bailing out because it is unable to find mysql.h, 
the best way to let it know is to add the following to you .bash_profile 
in your home directory.

under .bash_profile add...

CPATH=/usr/include:/usr/include/mysql
LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mysql/usr/lib

export CPATH LIBRARY_PATH

those two env variables will tell gcc where else to look for your 
mysql.h and any other mysql header files/libraries.

The furthest I've been was that I think I made it all the way through compiling myth and try to run setup and it complains it can't load the SQL driver. I figure it's because I didn't configure QT with the -qt-sql-mysql option. Didn't know about that before!

I have mysql-standard-4.0.17-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz installed under /usr/local and is running per INSTALL file instructions. I then open up qt-x11-free-3.3.0b1.tar.bz2 under /usr/local. I feel I have my paths set right to the new location and have the old references removed from the slackware install. QT configure seems to go OK, but 'make' barfs after a little while. complaining something about the mysql.h file not found.
