Help with "QTDIR"
First, let me apoligize for asking such a dumb question... I am a total
newbie when it comes to Linux, so please forgive...

The question I have concerns section 4.0 in the documentation for MythTV.
It says "QTDIR needs to be set, and /usr/lib/qt3/bin must be added to your
path." How would one go about changing the QTDIR? What file is that
setting in? I am running Red Hat 8.0 with KDE.

Thanks for the help...

export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3/bin

This will set the environmental variable for the duration of your session.
So that it is set every time, add it to .bash_profile in your home
directory. Hope that helps.

If you are running Red Hat 8.0 and you've installed the right
qt-* packages (see the docs), QTDIR should already be set for you in
/etc/profile.d/qt.sh. To verify, type:

echo $QTDIR

It will normally be "/usr/lib/qt3-gcc3.2".

Try using su -p to log in as su with the current users path.

That ^D stands for the key combination of 'Ctrl D' to indicate to close
the file, it should not be in the file iteself.

Edit the file and take out the ^D.


Cheers...
