Hi, I'm in the early stages of a complete MythTV update across my network. I have the backend nearly working in an IA32 machine. It runs fine but isn't getting all the channels correctly yet. In parallel with that effort I'm trying to get the frontend working again on my AMD64 machine. At this point I can connect to the mythconverg database by hand:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mysql -h 192.168.1.55 -u mythtv -p mythconverg Enter password: Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 43 Server version: 5.0.40 Gentoo Linux mysql-5.0.40 Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer. mysql> exit Bye [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ However when I try to start the frontend it complains like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ mythfrontend --geometry 800x600 2007-05-14 19:56:19.577 Using runtime prefix = /usr 2007-05-14 19:56:19.585 DPMS is active.

After doing some reading I find that the long time answer to this question is compiling qt with mysql support. I believe I've done that but it still didn't work. I noticed a new flag about qt3support so I rebuilt qt with that turned on but it still fails to connect: lightning ~ # emerge -pv qt These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

I'm pretty lost for things to try right now. Thanks in advance for any ideas. Cheers, Mark -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
