Besides what the others have said, you're probably going to have to install -dev versions of a lot of libraries to get the headers myth requires for building. Installing from binary packages means you've only needed the run time components of each but the build process reqiures more.

A quick way to do it is to run "apt-get build-dep mythtv". After that configure should enable everything you want. If anything is missing you'll have to manually install the corresponding -dev library. Sometimes it will be obvious which one and sometimes you'll have to look through the configure script to find what header it's looking for and then apt-cache search.

Hopefully you're going to pull from fixes until you're confident about the build process?
