Hi Jarod,
Thanks for all your replies.
I can see from the archive link you provided me that there must be some bug in my ebuild file. Should be fixable - even by someone like me.
So just to get it straight. If I compile mythtv with Qt/E I will be able to launch the setup program if I attach a monitor to my server?
On the reasons why I don't want X on my system. I am trying to keep my system as minimal and clean as possible. I just don't think it is fair to force me into using several hours to install and configure X just to run a silly setup program. To the time it will take to install X add the time it will take to keep all those extra packages up to date in the future. I just don't want to if it is possible to avoid it. The reason I run linux (gentoo) is that I get to choose what I want and what I do not want on my system.
