MythTV + MySQL 4.1

I just upgraded to MySQL 4.1. Having a few issues, the biggest being MythTV. I can get MythWeb to work, it took a bit of work, but that works perfectly now which tells me that the mythconverg database is exactly where it's supposed to be and working perfectly fine. MythTV itself though won't work. When I try to startup mythfrontend, I just get errors saying it couldn't connect to the database, and just kinda dies. The database is there though, and the mythtv user is setup to use an old style password to avoid issues with that, so it should all work!

I'm banging my head against a wall here, not sure what to do because everything *should* work, but it's not. Anyone else have similar errors, or even better, solutions?

Easy solution, recompile QT. MythTV uses QT libs to access MySQL, however QT is not caught by revdep-rebuild when a new version of MySQL is installed. Recompiled QT, problem solved.
