I've been building myth using the packaging script for a while.  I just tried 
building 0.24 for the first time (I've been building 0.23-fixes) and the script 
fails with this message:

RPM build errors:
    File not found:

MythTV build error.


It looks like Chris Petersen was the last person to modify the mythtv.spec 
file, with changes for mythnetvision.  I've tried to fix the problem but 
changing the script (either the build script or the spec file) results in 
either unpackaged files or other errors.  It seems if I try to disable building 
mythnetvision I still get the error and if I don't then when configure runs for 
the plugins it gets disabled automatically due to a missing dependency on the 
python bindings.  The script seems to want the bindings available during the 
build process.

As an aside, I've also fixed other problems with the spec file.  If I can get 
past this issue I'll create a ticket with a patch to fix all the problems.  
Thanks for any help!
