	I was hoping that your cure would work for me. No luck.

	On a test machine I did a fresh format and install of Mandriva 2008.0 
followed by compiling and installing MythTV (0.21 release) but after setup 
the same empty config screen shows up when I try to setup or enter 
MythWeather. There are still no error messages and everything else seems to 
function correctly.

	Looks like I may have to add lots of debug messages to mythweather code and 
try to find where it is failing.
