[mythtv-users] I can't beleive it's this.... complex

[Obrien, Haskell W.]

QT is the library set used in KDE. (Trolltech)

 

The least painful method (IMHO) is using Thac's rpms under mandrake with urpmi.

I'm actually fairly proficient with Linux (10 years or so).  I tried to go with Gentoo, but the install immediately complained about setting MOUSE and MOUSEDEV in gpm.  I decided not to muck with that any further and switched back to the distro I've been using for the past year or so - originally SuSE 9.1, now 9.2.  At first, I couldn't get mysql installed.  It was only after I tried the 32 bit version (64 bit install has some odd perl reqs) that I did.  Then, after searching for some SuSE specific install instructions (I came across Øystein Olsen's page, but would prefer to stick with YaST and not go down the apt-get path), I decided to try and run through the MythTV site's instructions.  For 4.3, it mentions needing to have the QT binaries.  I must admit, I don't what these are, but also can't seem to find them for my setup (and they don't seem to be installed as there is no qmake on my system).  Anyway, that's where I am at.  I like SuSE a-lot and would prefer to stay with it.  However, if I can get Gentoo to work, I could be persuaded to go that route (though I don't think I want to go the FC2/3 route).  Thanks for any input.
