[mythtv-users] SuSE 9 and MythTV Setup

I'm also using Suse9, but I recompiled QT by myself. For this the configure 
option -qt-sql-mysql was important, because otherwise no MySQL driver was 
included and I got the same error message like you.

Maybe try to compile QT by yourself. I used version 3.3.0b1 with the following 
configure line:

configure -prefix /usr/local/qt -thread -qt-sql-mysql -I /usr/include/mysql 
-L/usr/lib

Please make sure the MySQL developer files (devel) are installed.

Bye,

Torsten
