libXxf86vm is not provided by MythTV, it's a dependency that you must
install before trying to compile MythTV.
When you get that kind of error message it means you didn't install
something which must be installed *separately* in order to compile
MythTV from source.

No, there a package that you must install that is not currently
installed on your Ubuntu. When you compile from source (instead of
installing a package) you must make sure these dependencies are
installed before you try to compile.
It looks like the package name might be libxxf86vm-dev.
I don't use Ubuntu but it looks like you would need to do:
sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev
Good luck and have a nice day!
