The solution was quite simple: The suse tutorials on the vdr wiki didn't 
say which dependencies you needed, like the libn5curses (or something 
like it)
Afterwards I had the same problem with some other plugins, but since 
they were in the repository I could do a  "apt-get build-dep 
vdr-plugins-burn" and most of the time that would have fixed it.


However, sometimes I needed to sift through the error messages and find 
the correct packages in synaptic.
