Hi !

I've a weird problem with the svn version. After compiling and installing,
mythfrontend is not starting and gives the following error :

laptop1 mythtv # mythfrontend
2005-07-02 13:28:26.759 New DB connection, total: 1
Total desktop width=1024, height=768, numscreens=1

Could not find theme: G.A.N.T.
Couldn't find theme G.A.N.T.
laptop1 mythtv #

The themes are, where they have to be (/usr/share/mythtv/themes), but the
frontend is refusing to start.
I've been trying to change to another theme by manipulating the database
manually - no effort.

Is there anybody, who could give me a hint, please ?
I'm still refusing to reinstall the whole machine, because gentoo is taking
ages to compile, so any help would be very appreciated !

Thanks a lot in advance for your help !!!

Regards

Fritz

Here are some more details :

I've been using mythtv stable version .18 (gentoo ebuilds) for a while and
tried to switch to the current svn.
I'm using gentoo as OS (kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r11), a PVR350 and a Nova-S CI
on a Athlon 2500 machine as a backend.
As frontend, I'm using a Clevo Laptop 2 GHz, also with the same gentoo
basis.
The backend is running after the switch to svn, but the frontend is causing
problems.
I've been unmerging the stable version, deleting every file which has myth
in its name (find / -iname "*myth*") and then did
a ./configure prefix=/usr , qmake mythtv.pro, make, make install

During make install I saw errors passing by, but they seemed to be ignored.
