You are trying to use two incompatible versions of mythtv and
mythplugins. There are sometimes changes in the main mythtv sources that
require you to also update the mythplugins sources. It looks like you
have updated the mythplugins and not mythtv. Another common reason is
not installing mythtv _before_ compiling the plugins thats because the
plugins use the installed mythtv headers not the ones in the source
directory.
