This is probably the problem.  If, in the past, you did your mythtv
compiles using:

	./configure
	qmake PREFIX=/some/install/path mythtv.pro
	make
	make install

If you are using this same sequence with recent changes to
configure from CVS, your headers, etc. end up getting installed
in /usr/local instead of "/some/install/path".  The new sequence
needs to be:

	./configure --prefix=/some/install/path
	qmake mythtv.pro
	make
	make install

To be on the safe side I do:

	./configure --prefix=/some/install/path
	qmake PREFIX=/some/install/path mythtv.pro
	make
	make install

Of course, if you are installing to the default installation
paths, then you don't need to worry about any of this.  Either
way, there could still be a problem with usage of stale headers
and/or libraries.
