Then the first time I run mythtv setup, it will give me the grayish screen and then ask for language.  Once I select the language and select next, the program crashes.  On subsequent tries to run set up, it brings up the grayish screen and then crashes.

I'm assuming that you downloaded the binary? Or did you compile it yourself?
If it's a downloaded binary, which one? The Wiki lists two different
places to download it, each is a usually a different sub version.
That would be a place to start from.
Have you tried running the setup from terminal? If it bails, you might
get an error message displayed in the terminal.
