Hello all,

Anandtech got me going with that article on PVR MythTV, so I decided to give installing it a shot. I downloaded the tarball and started to compile from source for my Suse 9.1 box. The compile went well since Yast took care of all the dependencies for me and it completed without error. I followed the instructions on creating the database and have verified in MySQL that the database exists, that part has gone ok. I am now at the point of running the ./setup command and when I do that I get the following message:

Unable to open database:
Driver error was:
QMYSQL3: Unable to connect
Database error was:
Access denied for user: 'mythtv@stimpylnx.smpgroup' (Using password: YES)

In the configuration of the database I entered the command to setup security for the mythtv user using the following:

mysql> grant all on mythconverg.* to mythtv@"%stimpylnx.smpgroup" identified by "mythtv";
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> flush privileges;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)


I am at a loss here.. I have been at this for 3-4 hours and would like to take the next step... I wanted to say screwit and just forget about it all together, as I have never had to spend this much time getting a program working but I want to tough it out.. can't quit now.. just need some help... any ideas from the Linux gods? and you know who you are...!!

Thanks
