Please read and understand the docs before doing anything else...
They're here: http://mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall

I am reading the docs. That's how I've gotten this far.

If you did the mysql < mc.sql part, it should have created its own user.
Are you running both mythtv and mysql on the same computer? Double-check /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt (or wherever you installed mythtv) that it has the correct informations.

Also try running: mysql -u mythtv -p
Entering the password: mythtv
If you can do: \u mythconverg , there shouldn't be any errors

Yep, seems there's nothing in it. Which xmltv version are you using?

If you're running mythtv 0.7 try this.

In programs/mythfilldatabase/filldata.cpp:

At around line 188 you find:

if (split.size() > 0)
pginfo->endts = split[0];
else
pginfo->endts = "";

Change it to:

if (split.size() > 0)
pginfo->endts = split[0];
else
pginfo->endts = QString::null;

I found that on the myth-dev list when I had the
problem you described and that fixed it. When run the
first time, mythfilldatabase (for me) gets the data
for the current day, then 'wget's the channel icons,
then gets the data for the rest of the week. If it
segfaults after the first day, it's not working right.
