Probably need a bit more info on what you did before running
mythfilldatabase. lso, mythfilldatabase will need more options than
that to run. I run it like this:
$ /usr/local/bin/tv_grab_au --config-file
/home/mythtv/.xmltv/tv_grab_au_9msn.conf
$ mythfilldatabase --file 1 7 /home/mythtv/.xmltv/tvlistings_9msn.xml

- Which tv_grab_au are you using? There are different versions. One
popular one is the Michael Smith version at
http://immir.com/tv_grab_au

- You need to 1st create a configure script for this tv_grab_au then
run it to retrieve the data dfor the stations you want. I have a
config file for Sydney Free To Air if that's what you need.

- This will create a listings file in xmltv format. You then need to
run mythfilldatabase and specify that file for it to load it into the
listings database.

Having said all that, it looks to me like you are missing some perl
modules that may be required ("Can't locate XMLTV.pm"). Someone with
perl knowledge can hopefully confirm that - anyone?

So how have you installed all of this stuff? If you've done it from
pre-compiled binaries I'm not sure how you've managed to break some
dependencies; if you've installed from source and compiled then I
can't help.

My advice is to install Fedora Core and follow Jarod Wilson's guide
unless you really know what you're doing. That's the easiest way I
know to get MythTV up and running.
