I found out that by now (2013) mythtv does not need any nvidia libs
present to build with all the options, so I ripped them from the last
build and everything works smoothly. :)

Yes, that seems strange.

I'm using whatver is latest in ATrpms for that distribution. The very
latest does not build on all dists.

Thanks!
