Could it be $HOME related? Does the Mandriva init script set a valid
home for the mythbackend daemon?

If it still causes problems, a quick resolution could be to add a cron
entry for the grabber/mythfilldatabase. Listings are available as I
wite this, and I notice they were updated this morning after 0900
rather than the normal 0545.

I've checked the XMLTV Makefile on Fedora and Debian after specifying
a /usr/ prefix, and it gets set correctly in the Makefile on both
distros. When you do have a spare moment (it's not urgent) might you
be able to send me a copy of the generated Makefile after you've run:

$ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/usr/

so that I can compare it.

Cheers,
Nick
