I'm running on Fedora Core 1. I use apt-get to install mythtv-suite,
then removed mysql and the mythtv modules. Then I installed from CVS. 

My system shows the following RPMs installed with qt in the name. 
PyQt 3.12-0.fdr.2.1
PyQt-devel 3.12-0.fdr.2.
qt 3.3.2-10.3.1.kde
qt-designer 3.3.2-10.3.1.kde
qt-devel 3.3.2-10.3.1.kde
qt-MySQL 3.3.2-10.3.1.kde

$QTDIR appears to be set properly:
QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-3.3

I reinstalled qt-MySQL as you suggested and now I am resintalling
mythtv. (make clean;./configure;qmake mythtv.pro;make;make install).

I'll see if I get farther. 

Thanks,
James
