I am building a mythtv box using slack 10.

I compiled mythtvwith the monitor off the first time so i did not realize why the setup file was not in the directory and i was in the correct directory.
I am getting an error. the error is in regard to /lib/libqt-mt.so its not found
the errors are
/usr/lib/qt/libqt-mt.so: undefined reference to 'mng_initialize', 'mng_get_userdata', 'mnt_set_suspensionmode', 'mng_setcb_getcanvasline', 'mng_display_resume', 'mng_setcb_readdata', 'mng_readdisplay', 'mng_settimer', 'mng_set_canvasstyle', 'mng_setcb_processheader', 'mng_setcb_closestream', 'mng_setcb_refresh', 'mng_setcb_errorproc', 'mng_setcb_gettickcount', 'mng_cleanup', 'mng_setcb_openstream'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: ***[mythtvods] Error 1
make [2]: Leaving directory '/var/downloads/mythtv-0.15.1/programs/mythtvosd'

this error repeats serveral times for several directories: mythtranscode, setup, etc

so how do i get the reference right. its obvious from the process that parts are compiling and parts are not

any ideas?

it was suggested that i do this to remedy the problem but it didnt work.
edit the mythtv/settings.pro file and change PREFIX = /usr/local to
PREFIX = /usr

Where is libqt-mt installed?

its located at /usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib/libqt-mt.so

so how do i get the mythtv install process to look there instead of /usr/lib/qt/?

If you just symlink (ln -fs /usr/lib/qt-3.3.2/lib /usr/lib/qt/lib)
and make sure that /etc/ld.so.conf has a reference to it
you should be fine :)

If ld.so.conf know nothing of it add it and run ldconfig
manually.

how do i know if ld.so.conf has a reference? when i add that symbolic link will that automatically update ld.so.conf?

no, it doesn't .... and to see whether there's a reference
to it you'll need to cat/less/.../edit it :)

well this didnt solve my problem.

upon further reflection i dont think the problem is finding that file. i think the problem is that libqt-mt.so cannot find any of those files in that long list i copied.

what do you think?

Those aren't files, they're names of functions that
are in a library ...

If they can't be found the library can't be found
(or is unreadable).

i am gonna downgrade and go to slack 9.1 and try reinstalling mythtv.
as part of my install i will install swaret. how do you do a kernel upgrade using swaret?

No idea, I wouldn't touch swaret

whats wrong with swaret

what would you touch?

swaret (or its maintainers) decide what's going to my machine,
I don't like that - same for any other package management system.
