You might also need to install libxvmc.

I had the same problem when rebuilding the mythplugins myself just
recently. If they headers aren't installed then the library itself
might not be either. That was the case with my recent build.

Dunno how mythtv can get built with a missing library but it managed
it somehow...

Install the *dev package and the binary will come along for the ride
(if it's missing).
