[mythtv] Compile/Link error on Redhat 7.3..

[Kevin J. Slater]

Well thanks to Cliff Draper's help I got it to compile and install. I 
got an error when it tried to run 'strip' on 
"/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/", but I commented that out. Now I get 
an "Illegal instruction" error when I try to run setup or mythfrontend. 
(This is 0.7 by the way.) My platform is the VIA M9000/C3. I'm using RH 
7.3 with a modified kernel and Gnome. I'm going to try KDE just to see 
if helps any. Thanks for any ideas or clues.
