Presumably make is failing.  Is there nothing in the make output to
indicate an error?

When you enabled dvb  in configure, did you also provide the path to
the include file?

The rpm install should work but, if you've ever started the SVN
version (you said you got the non dvb compile to work), then your
database has been upgraded and will [probably] be incompatible with
your rpm version.  If you've got a database backup then you could drop
the mythconverg database before you install from rpm and then restore
it from your backup.
