[linux-dvb] newbie: Via EPIA / Gentoo / DVB-T installation - DVB compileerrors.

[Jon Whitear <linuxtv@whitear.org>]

I have Gentoo Linux (2.6.1-epia kernel) running on a Via EPIA-M10000
with a VisionPlus DVB-T card. I've used the kernel's stock DVB support,
and it works fine (i.e. I can stream from dvbstream to a file, and view
that in mplayer.)

I'm trying to install MythTV, which requires linuxtv-dvb and libdvb.
When I emerge linuxtv-dvb, it fails like so:-

>>> Unpacking source...
>>> Unpacking linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1.tar.gz to
/var/tmp/portage/linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1/work
>>> Source unpacked.
cat: CVS/Root: No such file or directory
(cd driver; make)

!!! ERROR: media-tv/linuxtv-dvb-1.0.1 failed.
!!! Function src_install, Line 35, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)

I tried injecting linuxtv-dvb (since I already have DVB drivers
installed and working), and moving on to libdvb-0.5.0-r1, but that also
fails with a number of errors (that look like undeclared variables.)
Being a Gentoo (and linux!) newbie, these errors really don't mean a
whole lot to me! I assume that I _do_ need to emerge these packages
successfully before I can emerge MythTV.

I have tried (unsuccessfully) to subscribe to, and post this to the
MythTV list as well, so if it _does_ turn up there, apologies for the
duplicate post! Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance,

Jon
