Yes, that's a typical error you get when you are using kernel headers in
userspace, i.e. you have symlinked /usr/include/{asm,linux} to
/usr/src/linux/include/{asm,linux} or something alike.

Hmm. If the headers which you're using *do* come from that package, there's only one thing to do: report a bug.

Linux headers from 2.6 kernels have been available in gentoo for along time -I remember I removed my own package a few months ago already-, only they have been masked. They are now in a separate ebuild, linux26-headers, mandatory if you use gcc-3.4, also masked.
I'm fairly sure that __user is markup to indicate which pointers have been passed in from userspace. Consequently, if you're still planning on using the headers for your current kernel, you'll need "-D__user".

CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS.
I will try it.. thanks.
Christian, your problem is that while you're using a 2.6 kernel and even dvb-cvs drivers, you are trying to compile vdr against linux-2.4.22 headers. Emerge linux26-headers and that'll solve your problem. Be aware that they are masked, AFAIK, so you'll have to unmask them and in case you keep using them -which you should, since there are not major problems anymore with nearly any package within gentoo, at least among those I use- you could take the time to re-compile glibc and take advantage of the features in your 2.6 kernel :) If you have more gentoo specific questions feel free to mail me off list ;) -- Don't stop to stomp ants when the elephants are stampeding.
