1.) You may not have the libs installed
2.) You may have the libs installed, but the configuration program can't
find them. 

If it's 1.), well, install the libs.
If it's 2.), then you'll have to edit the /etc/ld.so.conf and rerun
ldconfig

Add the following lines to the /etc/ld.so.conf
/usr/lib
/usr/local/lib

...save, exit - then run ldconfig

...then retry compiling the application...(I thought that xawtv would
have been installed with your distro?)
