You didn't say what version of KnoppMyth you're using, but the current 
version lists MythTV version 0.18.2svn.  Since 0.18.2svn isn't a real 
version number, you'll probably want to ask in the KnoppMyth fora what 
it means...

0.18.1 - MYTH_BINARY_VERSION "0.18.1.20050510-1" , MYTH_PROTO_VERSION "15"
0-18-fixes - MYTH_BINARY_VERSION "0.18.1.20050523-1", MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 
"15"
SVN Head (r7681) -MYTH_BINARY_VERSION "0.19.20051026-1", 
MYTH_PROTO_VERSION "19"

SVN r6739 (06/29/05 19:12:03) changed the MYTH_PROTO_VERSION from 17 to 
18, and then r6740 reverted that change (going back to 
MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 17).  Then, r6865 updated MYTH_PROTO_VERSION to (a 
different?) 18 and r7427 changed MYTH_PROTO_VERSION to 19.

So, it seems your KnoppMyth machine has either r6739 or r6865-r7426...  
(That's the problem with "made up" version numbers...)
