Did exactly what you requested.

"./configure --prefix=/usr --with-bindings=perl,python --enable-proc-opt"
  recompiled and installed on openSuSE 11.4 M4 and nvidia's latest 
NV.run for a 32 bit machine
And the result was  -> # mythtv-setup   Floating point exception

*Guess What!  It works just like Amarok does.  If you start it with "strace -o mythTV.err mythtv-setup"  it comes right up full screen.*
*Start it directly and it fails*
