I have a machine that is a frontend only mythbackend and mysql run on
another machine. I have read through section 6 of the docs and searched
the archives. 

When I try to run the frontend I get:
mythfrontend
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
Unable to connect to database!
No error type from QSqlError?  Strange...
couldn't open db

I've modified /usr/share/mythtv/mysql.txt
I can manually connect to mysql as the mythtv user
qt-MySQL is installed
I get:

How do I reinstall qt-MySQL correctly so I can run mythfrontend? Do I
have to have mysql server loaded locally first to get it installed
correctly?

Thanks,
James
