I'm no expert (but I am a Gentoo user) - reading this message, it looks<br>like it doesn't like the value of "config-protect", which is something to<br>do with which directories contain config files (eg /etc) and should be
<br>updated via rc-update. The message says you can no longer "use bash<br>features", and your "rawval" contains "${NXDIR}/home". As a total stab in<br>the dark, I'd say this is the problem - bash would expand ${NXDIR} to a
<br>real path, maybe the new webapp-config can't do this.<br><br>Do you know where ${NXDIR} has come from? Does it sound like any package<br>you have installed might have added it? Maybe try remove this package (or

upgrade it) and try mythweb again.<br><br>For reference 'emerge --info' on my gentoo mythbox reports:<br><br>CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config<br>/usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config

It was the NXDIR environment variable not being expanded. It seems it was added by NX server (freenx version), which it wasn't working properly any way. So unmerging it deleted that variable and I could install 'mythweb' succesfully.
