[mythtv-users] Is mythTV ready for prime time?

[E. Mike Durbin]

The problem isn't with Suse directly.  It's with QT.
QT on Suse is not compiled with database support
or threads.

Simply download QT 3.3.4, configure, compile, install.

Then link /usr/lib/qt3 to /usr/local/qt (from the QT install)
and you're good to go.

This is what it took to get MythTV running on Java Desktop
3.0 (which is based on Suse 9.1)
