libXxf86vm is not provided by MythTV, it's a dependency that you must 
install before trying to compile MythTV.

When you get that kind of error message it means you didn't install 
something which must be installed *separately* in order to compile 
MythTV from source.

No, there a package that you must install that is not currently 
installed on your Ubuntu. When you compile from source (instead of 
installing a package) you must make sure these dependencies are 
installed before you try to compile.

It looks like the package name might be libxxf86vm-dev.

I don't use Ubuntu but it looks like you would need to do:

sudo apt-get install libxxf86vm-dev

Good luck and have a nice day!
