it's my guess that ATRPMs libraw1394 package was compiled given the
above instruction. I would suggest, however, that until such time as
mythtv works with current kernels, that a package be made (say
"mythtv-libraw1394") where the library is stored in a mythtv-specific
subdirectory (say /usr/lib(64)/mythtv/) and that applications which need
and link specifically against libraw1394.so.8 be somehow redirected to
that link from their startup scripts. Perhaps and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
override might be set. In that way, the two "versions" of the same
version of the library can co-exist.
