Thanks to all for the pointers, I have everything compiling, but there
is one last issue with the mythtv compile. When I run ./configure with
the --enable-vdpau flag the configure command returns a list that shows
vdpau is still not enabled:

--enable-opengl-video --enable-opengl-vsync --disable-joystick-menu
--prefix=/usr --disable-directfb --disable-dvb --disable-audio-jack
