What i've been doing is folowing jarod's guide and skiping the "use apt-get to install mythtv". I do an apt-get buil-deps mythtv this makes sure everything required to build mythtv is installed. Then i just download the cvs and build it. I know that nythmusic requires additional prereq's and you might be able to do apt-get buil-deps mythmusic for that too. Have done it in a bit but will as soon as i get access to my new build. (dang isp blocking ALL ports!)
