"It went in the wrong place" - 64-bit libraries go in different places to 32-bit
ones. What you may be looking at are the 32-bit libs (or vice versa). Make sure
you are targeting (or identifying) the correct libraries for your Myth build,
otherwise the build will complain that libraries don't exist when you think that
they do. Similarly, make sure you install the correct versions of things like
for example Lame.
