[mythtv-users] Can't connect to MYSQL

Still can't connect, but I have more info. When mythtv-setup executes a 
terminal window appears with event messages but is only visible a very 
short  time since the mythtv screen comes up and covers everything.  
After running it several times I was able to piece together the 
following messages.

Runtime prefix /usr
Using config dir ~/.mythv
Using local hose value of localhost
SQL Database: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
SQL Database: available drivers:
Unable to init db connection
New Database connection Total:1
SQL Database Opendatabase(): db object is not valid

It seems I am missing a driver. Does the 3 in QMYSQL3 mean Qt3.  I do 
not have qt3 installed, just  qt4.  However since I installed mythtv 
with Ubuntu 10.4 distribution packages, I would think they would include 
any qt3 libs.

Anybody know what qt3 package I need to install?
