This seems to be due to the qt (or qmake) version Red Hat 9 ships. If some
directory does not exist, it is not created, and the bits land some
hierarchies higher. Debian seem to have patched these bugs in qt.

So create the needed directories first. It's quite ugly, because in order to
find out which directories are needed you need to rerun the installation steps
and recheck the output. :(

I am providing Red Hat 9 (and 8.0) rpms at

		  http://atrpms.physik.uf-berlin.de/name/mythtv/

Even if you still want to build on your own, you can check the "%build" part
of the specfile and apply parts of it.
