Make sure you have:
qt-MySQL
loaded on your system ( rpm -qa | grep qt-MySQL reports qt-MySQL-3.3.7-0.1.fc6
on my fc6 box )

I think that those errors are similar to the ones I got when I run
myth but didn't
have that gt-MySQL package loaded... it's needed but it's not listed
as a pre-req
in the .rpm packages for fedora.
