What's about checking if the user uses debian (for example "test -e

Damn good idea, Adam. I have lost count of the number
of times on KnoppMyth that I have built and installed into
/usr/local, and then wondered why there were version mismatches,

Absolutely not. Self compiled software goes into /usr/local.




If you *really* want to put it in /usr, do:

   ./configure --prefix=/usr
   qmake PREFIX=/usr mythtv.pro
