You probably have two copies of mythbackend and mythfrontend in different
locations: one from your previous installation via packages, and another one
from your compiled source. The configuration instructions you provided &
make install put the new copies into a directory later in your path than the
old ones, but now when the old ones are started because they're earlier in
the path, they can't find their-version lib files because those did get
overwritten. Easiest fix would be deleting the old mythbackend &
mythfrontend.
