First suggestion would be to never ever use the tarballs...  Use MythTV 
0.23-fixes "stable branch", as described at http://svn.mythtv.org/

Other than that, I'd guess that we'd have more people having problems 
with NUV playback if the library were actually broken.  It's possible 
that it's something specific to your configuration, but it still looks 
to me like a compilation/install problem.

So, what you left untouched in my above comments was, "due to specifying 
configure arguments that you shouldn't be specifying."  So, what 
configure arguments are you using?  (And what's the output of the 
configure program?)
