As I've experienced many times in the past and according to documentation:<br><br>"When you start mythfrontend for the first time, it will attempt to connect
to a configuration database on the local machine. If there is none, a
"Database Configuration" screen will appear, and you will need to fill in
some details. The "Host name" field needs the backend or database server's
IP address or DNS name, and the User or password fields may need to be set
to match your database user accounts. After editing those fields, press
Enter twice to write these configurations on your local machine, and attempt
to connect to the database. If you make any mistakes, the screens will pop
up again."<br><br>I start mythfrontend and I get the normal sql errors about it not having a database setup in console, but eventually the Database Configuration screen should start, mine never does. An strace shows the following (archived messages in the list showed one similar person with this problem but he had gettimeofday errors in his strace which I don't get):

<br>Kubuntu 6.10 with most obvious required packages installed including libqt3-mt-mysql. I compiled from svn source without any errors. If anyone could point me in the direction to getting this resolved I'd greatly appreceiate it!
