(it's a) MythTV

I decided to build a Mythtv box (like a TiVo). Even though I have no need for one as I don't care enough about TV to record something that's on when I can't park my arse on the sofa. Plus, the only primetime TV show I watch is Jeopardy. I wanted to do it just for fun and because it seems the lobbyists in DC want Congress to pass all kinds of laws restricting what we can download and record in terms of music and television broadcasts; including a broadcast flag that might prevent certain transmissions from being recorded and saved on a hard drive.

Anyway, I downloaded the packages a I needed and then did the ./configure and make. So far so good. It's an old PC with an AMD K-6 so I knew it might take a while to compile. About 2 hours into the compile, I got an error message and the compile terminated. Well, back to the drawing board; I must be still missing a package.
