[mythtv-users] Core dump in mythbackend

[Hansa]

I'm trying to install mythtv on FreeBSD. So far all went well. I've
installed mythtv and my PVR-500 (mythtv-setup even detects it). I have a
little issue regarding mythtv-setup and a core dump problem regarding
mythbackend.

1) mythtv-setup

2007-12-12 22:14:19.856 Using runtime prefix = /usr/local
xscreensaver-command: not found
2007-12-12 22:14:19.867 DPMS is not supported.

mythtv: could not connect to socket

lirc_init failed for mythtv, see preceding messages

2007-12-12 22:14:22.072 Loading from:
/usr/local/share/mythtv/themes/default/base.xml
ps: Process environment requires procfs(5)

The first tells me the runtime prefix is /usr/local. Is this correct? Mythtv
is installed in /usr/local/share/mythtv/
The last line complains about procfs. I'm running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE with
linux_base-fc-4_10 and linux-procps-3.2.5 installed. I'm woundering which
process is called and why it complains about procfs?

So far mythtv-setup runs fine and reports no errors. So the above realy is
no big issue...

2) In mythbackend:

mythbackend in free(): error: junk pointer, too high to make sense
Abort trap: 6 (core dumped)

This error is more serious and I have no idea why this happens. Since I want
to run the backend on FreeBSD I could realy use any help I can get.
I'm using mythtv-fixes-0.20-13053.tar.bz2 from the multimedia/mythtv port
which effectively compiles to mythtv-0.20_2.

Best regards,
