Rerun ./configure, make sure config.mak has -lXvMCNVIDIA in the
CONFIG_XVMC_LIBS=... line, after the run. It should look like this:

CONFIG_XVMC_LIBS=-lXvMCNVIDIA -lXvMC

If it has that do a "make distclean; make; sudo make install" and
you will have hopefully have a working copy of MythTV.

If it doesn't have that by default, please try to figure out why
the configure script isn't working on your computer. If you have
problems first look at the output of "./configure --help", then
the actual shell script.
