Mike,
   Thanks for the fast response. So far I'm in a small world of pain
here but hopefully I can dig my way out of it today. Currently mythtv
is this:

dragonfly ~ # eix mythtv
* media-tv/mythtv
     Available versions:  0.19_p9163-r1 ~0.19_p10281
     Installed:           0.19_p9163-r1
     Homepage:            http://www.mythtv.org/
     Description:         Homebrew PVR project

I don't know whether that qualifies as 0.19-fixes.

   Anyway, if staying with mysql-4 is OK then I'll do that.

   I'm about to send a more detailed email of where I'm at. If you
have a moment maybe you can look at that one. The Gentoo WIKI is not
responding right now so I'm pretty lost for ideas.

Thanks,
Mark
