The Red Hat rpms do contain these two themes, as well as the photo
theme and they are even working. ;)

But he wasn't using packaged myth, he build it for himself, and
stumbled over a known bug of a buggy qt/qmake shipped with Red Hat 9:

Matt Zimmerman replied to one thread stating that Debian has a patched
qmake, so you won't hit the bug there.

For those not wishing to go rpm, here is the workaround used in
building them:

for dir in %{_bindir} %{_libdir}/mythtv/filters %{_datadir}/mythtv/themes/blue %{_includedir}/mythtv; do
  mkdir -p %{buildroot}$dir
done

Replace the macros with their obvious values and run it befoe make
install.

Unfortunatly any new directories entering myth* need to be monitored
and mkdired by hand, or a patched qmake used for building. :(
