Short answer - If you have time on your hands, go for it ;) There are rpm repo's available for Fedora but don't despair, you can compile it from source. In addition to the docs on mythtv.org there is a good how to for fedora at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/ (read both) BEWARE of using the repo suggested if you go the Fedora / rpm route. It has an unfortunate tendency to replace things like glibc and rpm if you have it enabled during an update and don't watch it carefully. I install my myth machines with extras and livna for deps and compile mythtv from source. (down to one rpm from another source). The first step should be to get your capture card installed and working. This will vary depending on the card (see the howto url above). I've done it with video4linux on a brooktree chip card and IVTV for my current setup. Hint - with udev you may have to create /dev/video0 before loading the kernel module for the card. (I do) >From there dl and install the deps, them proceed to mythtv. The current "stable release" 0.18 did not compile on my FC4 machine but the 0.18.2 release from subversion works well. http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ (hint 2 - you need qt-devel. logout and back in again or the config script won't find it) Good luck Message: 1 Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2006 11:15:56 -0800 From: "Cesar Covarrubias" <cesar@xxxxxxx> Subject: RHEL4 and Mythtv To: <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <200601281916.k0SJFvmq006369@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello, I have a box running RHEL4 AS and was curious to know if anyone had ever installed MythTv on this distro? I would prefer a nice clean rpm install, but can't find any good documentation to support this. Any ideas?
