kdepfyffer,
I'm running CentOS 5.5 and MythTV 23.1; both from fresh installs. These
are the notes I made:
----------
Set up atrpms:
Follow the install instructions on atrpms.net; rpm --import
http://atrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
Copy the atrpms and freshmeat repo files from the prior install into
/etc/yum.repo.d/ Or get them from atrpms and freshmeat
Add the following to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo:
exclude=qt4 qt4-*
See "Installing_MythTV_on_RHEL-CentOS" for explanation
Note: I saw this too late; ie., when I tried to run mythtv-setup, it
crapped out. I googled and found the way to fix it was to install
qt44-mysql from atrpms-testing, then erase qt4 and qt4-mysql. It must
be in this sequence and do not install qt44, it's not needed.
Install mythtv:
yum install mythtv-suite --enablerepo=atrpms
I had some unresolved dependencies so I had to enable atrpms-testing.
But then it found a later version of mythtv-suite in atrpms-testing. So
I disabled atrpms-testing, ran the install, analyzed the dependencies
for those available only thru atrpms-testing and yum installed those
with atrpms-testing active. Then I went back and ran the install
without atrpms testing available.
yum install qt44-x11 libtheoraenc1 libFLAC8 libtheoradec1 PIL
perl-XML-Twig --enablerepo=atrpms-testing
yum install mythtv-suite
Note: When I updated it to 0.23.1, I could not use "yum update
mythtv-suite." It only updated mythtv, not all the other plugins,
libraries, etc. So I had to do them all manually.
Then follow the info in MythTV Wiki: Installing MythTV on Fedora
-----------
I hope this helps. Good luck!
