What problems are you having? I am running trunk on the latest mythbuntu.

Here is more or less what i did. Some things may be unnecessary, but
it works for me.

1. apt-get build-dep mythtv
2. uninstall all mythtv related packages.
3. install qt4 items (once again not sure everything here is needed):
apt-get install libqt4-core libqt4-opengl-dev libqt4-opengl
libqt4-sql-mysql libqt4-dev libqt4-gui libqt4-qt3support libqt4-sql
lsb-qt4 qt4-designer qt4-dev-tools qt4-doc qt4-qtconfig uim-qt gcc
libapt-pkg-perl resolvconf
4. update alternatives to point to qt4 version as needed:
sudo update-alternatives --config qmake
sudo update-alternatives --config uic
sudo update-alternatives --config designer
sudo update-alternatives --config assistant
sudo update-alternatives --config qtconfig
sudo update-alternatives --config moc
sudo update-alternatives --config lupdate
sudo update-alternatives --config lrelease
sudo update-alternatives --config linguist

5. check out and build mythtv svn (i used the following config
options: --prefix=/usr --enable-lirc --enable-audio-alsa
--enable-audio-oss --enable-audio-jack --enable-audio-arts
--enable-dvb --enable-ivtv --enable-opengl-vsync --with-bindings=perl
--enable-opengl-video --enable-ffmpeg-pthreads --compile-type=profile
--cpu=i686 --enable-mmx --enable-xvmc --enable-xvmc-vld
--enable-xvmc-pro --enable-glx-procaddrarb --enable-libfaad
--enable-libfaac --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libxvid
--enable-libfftw3 --enable-hdpvr)


Ugly, and i probably end up with packages i don't need, but it works
(at least it did for me).
