[mythtv] RH 7.3 major problems

[Paul Jara]

I consulted with the mailing list archives and managed to get to the
point where I can compile mythtv so long as mp3lame support is not
included (the configure script by default does not enable it).  As
suggested, I compiled LAME and libttf from source and they seem to be
installed properly.  Now, when I run 'mythtv' I get the following error:

mythtv: error while loading shared libraries: libmp3lame.so.0: cannot
open shared object files: No such file or directory

I have checked and libmp3lame.so.0 does exist.  Of course, 'mythtv'
won't actually run.  The other executables exhibit similar behaviour and
refuse to start.

Obviously, I am doing something wrong here.  Hopefully someone can
help.  Here's what I'm using:

Red Hat 7.3
lame 3.92 (compiled from source)
freetype 1.3.1 (compiled from source)
MySQL 11.16 Distrib 3.23.49 (installed from RPM)
QT 3.0.3 (installed from RPMs, and including the devel RPM)

Thanks in advance!
