I'm getting similar results.  FC3 was working fine, but after moving to
FC4 x86_64 I can no longer run mythfrontend.  I suspected some leftover
package causing a problem, so I removed all the myth packages and did a
yum install of mythtv-suite.  I get the following, slightly different
error message:

I'm getting the same message no matter which directory I run it from.

Specs here are: FC4 x86_64, AMD64 3200 and ATI 9600.
