[mythtv-users] Can't install mythtv-suite on Redhat 9

[James Pifer]

I was getting very frustrated so I had to take a break. 

I got past this problem by installing lirc manually from RPM. It's like
it couldn't find it through apt. Oh well, at least I'm moving forward
again. 

Now I'm dealing with ivtv. When I try the first command I get this:
[root at mythtv root]# apt-get install ivtv-kmdl-$KERNEL
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Package ivtv-kmdl is not installed, so not removed
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 removed and 1 not upgraded.
[root at mythtv root]#

If I keep going I can run apt-get install ivtv. 
Then I modify modules.conf per the doc. 

When I modprobe ivtv I get segmentation fault. I restarted the machine
and now it's kind of hosed.

I'm going to work on it tonight and see if I can get it working. 

Thanks for all the help so far.
