OK.  Glad we got that cleared up first.

Perfect.

Well, actually, it's a newer version.  The README for MythWeb hasn't 
been updated in quite some time.  Chris has been very busy with other 
stuff lately, but the idea of updating it is in the system ( 
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/332 ).

The best way to find out what "version" you're using with SVN is:

svn info

and looking at the line:

Revision: xxxx

So, anyway, you should have the right version, now, and can proceed to 
the install.  Make sure, however, that you install the same version of 
mythtv, mythplugins, and myththemes--otherwise, you'll have problems.  
So, do an svn checkout of mythtv, then and svn update of mythplugins, 
then and svn checkout of myththemes, then compile/install mythtv 
(shutting down mythtv before installing), then compile/install 
mythplugins and myththemes (doesn't matter whether you install 
mythplugins or myththemes first).  Then, restart mythtv and let us know 
if you still have difficulties.

Probably don't need to RTFM since you're on the right track now, but 
here are some references you might find useful:
