Hello Stroller,

Thank you for your answer.

I have searched but didn't found anything similar. In the meantime I 
installed 'libdaemon' but the result is the same.


>Where did you get `/etc/init.d/mythbackend` from?
I have compiled mythtv from the source mythtv-0.20, mythplugins-0.20, 
myththemes-0.20.

>Was it packaged with the MythTV source you downloaded?
yes

>Did `/etc/init.d/functions` >not come with it?
No, there wasn't '/etc/init.d/functions' with it or after compiling.

>is it possible that your t`/etc/init.d/mythbackend`is left over from a 
>previous installation?
No, I have installed all new, SuSE 10.2, mysql, mythtv 0.20.
