For a more detail analysis it is useful to see the errors you get (at least 
some). On my Suse 9.0 system I had first problems, too, but I could solve 
those problems by

- install MySQL development package

- install QT 3.1 and compile it with

configure -threads -qt-sql-mysql -I/usr/include/mysql -L/usr/lib
make

Very important ist the threads- and qt-sql-mysql option.

- compile MythTV with

QTDIR=/usr/local/qt
PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export QTDIR PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

qmake mythtv.pro
./configure
make

I hope this will help you.

By,

Torsten
