[linux-dvb] Re: Problem MAKEing DVB Driver on RH9

Hi!

Thanks for your help.

OK, i've done 1,3 and 5.

2 and 4 I don't know how to do but given that i'm using a fresh install 
of RedHat, i'd assume that they're both true. I certainly haven't 
updated the compiler or kernel sources since I installed Red Hat if that 
helps.

Anyway, I tried what you said. I still get errors when doing the make of 
the DVB Driver but this time the errors have changed, i'm getting more 
of them, they're getting more precise and the process is taking a little 
longer, which I hope is a good thing. Still don't understand the errors 
though :-) Here's what I get:

If anyone can help me further down the road, i'd be much obliged. This 
is about the fifth time i've tried to install RedHat and the DVB drivers 
and previously i've just given up when I had problems and gone back to 
Windows. This time, i'm determined to get a working Linux system out of 
it, complete with DVB drivers, analogue TV drivers, Hollywood Plus 
drivers, etc. :-)

Cheers,
Holden
