I am installing mythtv on a mandrake 9.1 system. Have followed the
installation guide verbatum (command line) and have had good luck up to this
point. I am running ./setup from the directory I untar'd the tarball to and
get the following results. Please post suggestions - I am so close!
Thanks.

Have you run "# make install" in the main mythtv directory?

What's in /usr/local/share/mythtv? What are the permissions on that
directory?

Thank you for your reply Robert. I did run the #make install as outlined in
section 5.4 of the install manual. Below is a listing of my
/usr/local/share/mythtv/ directory. Let me know what steps I may try next.

Sincerely,
Rob
