Johan,

I sincerely thank you for you help. I'm almost there - I have  
followed your instructions precisely but I'm having a build error  
while compiling libmyth. What's weird is ldconfig -p shows libraw1394  
stuff linked so I'm not sure what is going on.

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lraw1394
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libmyth-0.18.1.so.0.18.1] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/mythtv-0.18.1/ 
libs/libmyth'
make[1]: *** [sub-libmyth] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/mythtv-0.18.1/libs'
make: *** [sub-libs] Error 2
