Hi all,

I am trying to follow the documented steps for
compiling mythtv and I am running into problems early
in the process.

I can compile as root but not my myth user -> mythtv

Here are the steps I have taken from the how-to:


1)  Create user mythtv ( home directory is:
/home/mythtv)
2)  (4.2) Verify that /etc/ld.so.conf contains
/usr/local/lib.
3)  (4.3) Add /usr/lib/qt3/bin to PATH, make sure that
QTDIR=
          /usr/lib/qt3, and "which qmake" returns
/usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake.
4)  (4.3 cont) Created mythtv.sh in /etc/profile.d,
added the following:
          export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
          export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/qt3/bin
          used chmod to change permissions to a+x.
5)  (5.2) Building Lame.
          as user mythtv
          cd /home/mythtv/src/lame-3.95.1
          ./configure

This is where I run into trouble.  I get the following
error:

-bash-2.05b$ ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install...
/usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific
portions of Makefiles... no
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output... configure:
error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.


Again, as root I have no problem but as user mythtv,
this does not compile.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.  Also, I
am sorry if this is not the right forum for this
question.
