[mythtv-users] install issues with mythtv on x86_64

[RKVJ]

Hello myth-users,

I'm trying to install mythtv on an AMD/x86_64/fedora_4
and haven't had any luck getting it to work :(. I
started-off with mythtv-suite pre-compiled package
from atrpms.net and got a segmentation fault when I
started mythfrontend. I learnt from the ATRPMS mailing
list that the problem had been fixed but not released
into the "stable" release. I posted a requestto
release the fixes on myth-dev list and am yet to get a
resolution.


Second attempt:

I tried building mythtv from the latest svn version,
but get a segmentation fault when I run mythtv(mythtv
standalone, since "watch-tv" option is currently
disabled in the latest version under svn)


Third attempt:

Installed from
'http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/branches/release-0-18-fixes'
which is the last stable release; failed again, as the
build('make' after running configure/qmake) fails due
to the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Fourth attempt:

Finally I tried using the tarball to install mythtv
and 'make' fails right away with the following error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Has anybody faced similar problems as above?? If so
please post suggestions to resolve the issue/s.

I did come across another user having similar issue
with install using the stable svn version, but haven't
seen any resolution so far...

The only option I haven't tried is to try installing
32-bit version!


Thanks
