Hello, I hope this doesn't duplicate...

  I'm trying to get Mythtv to run on my Slackware 9.1. I can't seem to get it right. I *think* I have all the requirments met, but seem to get hung on one compile or another. The furthest I've been was that I think I made it all the way through compiling myth and try to run setup and it complains it can't load the SQL driver. I figure it's because I didn't configure QT with the -qt-sql-mysql option. Didn't know about that before!

  Now, I have a fresh Slackware install. Removed both the MYSQL and the QT that comes with Slackware (mainly because of their install locations). I have mysql-standard-4.0.17-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz installed under /usr/local and is running per INSTALL file instructions. I then open up qt-x11-free-3.3.0b1.tar.bz2 under /usr/local. I feel I have my paths set right to the new location and have the old references removed from the slackware install. QT configure seems to go OK, but 'make' barfs after a little while. complaining something about the mysql.h file not found. 

  Can anyone give me a hand as to what I need to do? I would appreciate it very much. Do I need to find the mysql-devel and qt-devel packages? I can't seem to find the tarballs, but I see some RPM's. Do I need the full source for mysql instead of the binary package? Any leads would be great.

  Thank you in advance!

Paul
