Yeah, I'm out of them as well.  But, in the meantime, Axel had gotten in 
touch with me over this (some of my replies have been to him and the 
list).  I decided to enable the atrpms-bleeding repo and give that a try 
and that seemed to work.  I ran make uninstall to remove everything I 
compiled, then yum --enable=atrpms-bleeding install mythtv to get the 
latest packages installed.  It seemed to work out well.  Like I said 
earlier:  something wasn't right in how I was compiling from source, but 
I have the latest package version now, so it's all good.  I'd still like 
to get SVN compilations installed and working at some point though, so I 
could possibly be of more development help in the future.  But, I guess 
that'll happen in the future.

Thanks so much for the time and help on this!  I really appreciate it!
