Dave,

This looks a lot like a bad build of mythtv and/or mythplugins--possibly 
due to a bad build environment (bad build tools--libs, compiler, ...).

Please try removing all your mythtv and mythplugins libraries and 
includes, then rebuilding and reinstalling mythtv and then mythplugins, 
both from a clean (distclean) repo.  You can do so with something like 
the below:

rm -r /usr/{,local/}{include/mythtv,lib/{libmyth*,mythtv}}
