If you're new to Linux, the very last project you'd want to pick as your 
first attempt to build something would be MythTV.  Myth is one of the most 
complicated packages to build.

Myth does build, if you follow all the instructions, carefully, step by 
step.  You probably forgot to take a step, or two, but without you actually 
posting everything that you did, it's not really possible to tell you what's 
missing.

You're much better off installing the pre-built Myth packages for your 
distro, and pick something simpler to compile, until you have some 
experience.
