Mailing List Archive: setup problem

Hi. I finally got mythtv compiled and installed. It had a lot of errors
like below. on make and make install. But I'm hoping those are not a
problem, and I can't test for sure since there is no 'make test'.
Anyway, it _did_ compile and install, so I gave it a whirl.

make errors

My real problem is this. I'm trying to do the setup. The mysql <mc.sql
things seems to have worked because now I have a database called
mythconverg. Now onto setup. It returns this error:

[root@freevo setup]# ./setup
QSqlDatabase warning: QMYSQL3 driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers:
couldn't open db
[root@freevo setup]#

my best guess is that it is because the QT version that ships with Red
Hat isn't compiled with mysql support (and perhaps thread support?).
The problem is this, I can't test that because when I try to compile my
own QT the compile fails (see below) and I can't find a pre-compiled
rpm that includes mysql and thread support. So help 1) diagnosing the
setup error above, 2)diagnosing the QT compile failure, or 3) finding a
compiled version of QT with thread and mysql support that will install
on my Red Hat 8 machine would be really apreciated. I'm not the
sharpest tool in the shed, and I have been bashing my head against
trying to get mythtv installed for a week. I can't fail now!

Thanks in advance for your help!

QT compile failure.
I do this:
./configure -qt-gif -qt-sql-mysql -plugin-sql-mysql -thread

then
gmake

then it compile for 45 minutes
then these errors:

Thats likley because it can't find the right path to the sql driver. On
Mandrake 8.2, it will be somewhere under /usr/lib/qt3, specifically

/usr/lib/qt3/plugins/sqldrivers

doing an ls there gives you

[sibbleh@marcus sqldrivers]$ ls
core libqsqlmysql.so* libqsqlodbc.so* libqsqlpsql.so*

Possibly, try doing a search (use locate if installed and database is up to
date) for the libqsqlmysql.so and note where that directory is.

Then do
export QTDIR=/path/to/your/qt-libs

based on your errors below it looks like you might be missing a development
library or 2. Pop on over to http://rpmfind.net and do a search for qt3, I
think you'll find what you need there (in rpm or srpm form). That's how I got
a nice source rpm for qt3 that compiles nicely on my mdk 8.2 and 8.1 boxen.

If you get a source rpm (srpm or src.rpm), basically as root you'd do:

rpm --rebuild sourcerpmname.src.rpm, it'll run for a while, took about an
hour on my athlon 1.4g system and near the end of the output it will mention
1 or 2 rpms in a directory. Under mdk that was /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686.
Install those 2 rpm's and you should be good to go. I had to use --force on
my mdk box as I had installed older/other precompiled versions of the libs.

Anyhow, this should give you a bit of info to get started, I am sure other RH
users will pipe up with further details.
