If you have old copies of myth header files in /usr/include/mythtv
they will get used instead of the ones from /usr/local/include/mythtv
because of the search order used by the compiler.  This also applies
to /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib.

If you don't want to risk anything, just rename /usr/include/mythtv
to /usr/include/mythtv.old.  Also, move anything /usr/lib/libmyth* to
some safe place.

There is an "Update to CVS howto" that discusses what you need
to do to properly switch from using a stock installation to using CVS.
