/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lmyth-0.20.1
means that the compile can't find the libs that were supposed to be installed
with make install on the mythtv repository.  Where did the libs get installed
when you did a make install? You may have to put the location in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or in your ld.so.conf file.
