This is where I'm at too.

So I've got my rPi, and the "jessie" image.

Lawrence, I'm trying to follow your instructions, and I'm up to the point of 
running mythbuild.sh on my workstation to cross-compile the mythtv binaries 
for rPi.  But something goes wrong ~

~/Code/rpi
[Snugglepot] ./mythbuild.sh -2 -Q 5.4.0

I am supposed to be running this on my workstation right?
It's not 100% clear to me if this script is to be run on the workstation or rPi.
Since it says "cross-compile" I figured workstation.  But now this has 
happened, I'm not so sure.

cheers,
