It most certainly is.

What you need to do is to run ./configure at the top level of MythTV
first, then make from the top level of MythTV.  This chains down to
the external libraries correctly, including running their individual
configure scripts where needed.  Any other method of building this is
unsupported.

You likely want to make distclean first from the top level too.

This makes no sense.  It builds as designed.  You are doing it wrong :)

When running master...  if things don't build as expected, go to the
top level of MythTV, and make uninstall, make distclean, and start
again.  Also, after distclean, manually delete any remaining installed
libraries or includes (if we moved the paths, as we did in this case).
 I don't know how you guys managed to get wedged :)
