I wanted to get the xymouse program to work and when I complied I got an error about not finding X11 libs even though I specified a directory for them. Against my better judgement I did a apt-get install libx11-dev and that worked except it fails to setup the locales.



I then removed the libx11-dev libs, and rebooted, and anything in mythtv that has a "depends" section in the menu xml file won't show up any more. I tried installing libx11-dev again, if I try and install mythplugins manually from the local .deb, I get this error:



And of course, if I try and install kdelibs4, I get another unmeet dependency, and so forth.

Is this system a lost cause or is there something I can do to fix it?

Thanks a lot[/quote]

First I'd suggest fixing locales, then reinstall the needed package(s).
Uncheck the local that does build successfully.

That fixed the locales problem, thanks.

After a few more attempts with dpkg to try and reinstall the plugins and more failures, and a reboot or two, the buttons are all back on the menu, I have no idea what I did to fix that.
