Just tried to compile Me-TV from source and ran into dependency hell 
mainly caused by packages being out of date.  Could not update them 
either; they all needed other libraries and caused version mismatches on 
attempting to install.  Some of the dependencies gave "unknown package" 
when I attempted to install them via urpmi.  I have to give up on this.  
Already past my 3¼ minutes per day quota.
