[mythtv-users] xinerama and mythdvd compilation problem.

[Jon Quiros]

resolved.

This is for the archives in case it helps someone else in the future.
As I was writing this message I was recompiling qt  (USE="xinerama" 
emerge qt) and then tried compiling mythdvd again and it worked this time!


=================================================================

Hello.

Ive been working for a few months now getting my ideal mythtv system going.

I started with OpenBSD but botched it for linux,
so i tried debian, and had trouble somewhere, then switched to Fedora 
Core 1, and had some trouble with lirc and emitting IR signals because I 
have digital cable.
now i'm happily using Gentoo.  I installed everything from portage 
(emrge mythtv, etc...)

But when I try to install via "merge mythdvd" I get an error.  So i 
uninstalled everything myth-related emerge had installed (all 
mythtv-0.13) and decided to compile things manually, but with version 0.14.

Compilation/install went smoothly for everything, except mythdvd, where 
I get this:

# locate Xinerama

============================
do other people have more Xinerama stuff than I do, as in the above 
"locate"?
Also, when I do "ldconfig -v" should I be getting something for 
"Xinerama"- I'm not.

I found there was a bug some time ago (june, 2003) in myth tv where 
something similar to this was patched, but my version already had that 
patch. 

i recompiled xfree as well in case that had anything to do with it. but 
nothing.
