Comment (by knight):

 Hi,

 The file is not provided by MythTV, it is a file *you* must install
 yourself if you wish to compile from source (which, as I said previously,
 should only be done as a last resort for most people).

 The wiki entry you are following forgot to mention that this file had to
 be installed as well... You are welcome to create yourself an account on
 the wiki and edit it (since this is how a wiki work).

 The configure script simply warns you that you have not installed a file
 *you* must install if you wish to compile MythTV from source. If you
 installed MythTV using a package (one is provided by your Linux
 distribution) it would be automatically installed.

 I am not sure you realize it but you are presently installing MythTV in
 the hardest way possible, compiling and installing from source you
 retrieved directly from our *unstable development version*. When you do
 that you must take care of installing everything needed to compile and
 install it yourself.

 As I mentioned above this is an *unstable development version* not a
 released version of the application, it is the version we are currently
 developing which should not normally be considered stable and should not
 normally be used in a production (ie non development) context. The fact
 that you did not understand this was a missing dependency, something which
 you had to install before trying to install MythTV, makes me believe you
 should not be using this version.

 Please seek help on the mailing list or IRC channel I mentioned previously
 (and not the ones mentioned in the error message these are meant to be
 used when you actually want to develop or help develop the application).

 Thank you,

 Nick
