[mythtv-users] 0.18.1 on x86_64 and lirc not working

Sat Jun 11 18:08:20 UTC 2005

Johan, thank you for your continued tips.

Well there's nothing under /usr/local out of the ordinary. Here's  
what I found under /usr/lib64. Is this showing 2 different versions  
here of libmyth (.18.1 and .18)?

/usr/lib64/libmyth-0.18.1.so.0.18
/usr/lib64/libmyth-0.18.1.so.0
/usr/lib64/libmythtv-0.18.1.so.0.18.1
/usr/lib64/libmythavformat-0.18.1.so.0.18
/usr/lib64/libmythtv-0.18.1.so.0.18
/usr/lib64/libmythtv-0.18.1.so.0
/usr/lib64/libmythavformat-0.18.1.so.0.18.1
/usr/lib64/libmythavcodec-0.18.1.so.0.18.1
/usr/lib64/libmyth-0.18.1.so.0.18.1
/usr/lib64/libmythavcodec-0.18.1.so.0.18
/usr/lib64/libmythavcodec-0.18.1.so.0
/usr/lib64/libmythavformat-0.18.1.so.0
