You have to have compiled and installed the mythtv package before you
can build the plugins.


Then you need to find the missing dependencies (probably -dev or
-devel packages)

I use 'yum list' with the first part of the error message to see
what's available, eg

# yum list libid*

revealed that libid3tag.i386 was installed, and

libid3tag-devel.i386 was available

so

#yum install libid3tag-devel.i386

...

and work your way down the list.

The ones that caught me out were vorbis, which needed
libvorbis-devel.i386 and a mysql-client package needed by zoneminder,
which I never did find.  But I don't need zoneminder so I disabled it.
