Post subject:  backend won't start and ivtv compile error - losing hair
Hi all:

Well, due to availability of parts in my locale, I'm still struggling like heck
to get KnoppMyth R5A12 working. I'm determined to learn, though.
Currently, I have 2 problems:

1. Mythbackend gives an error when trying to start now. I'm pretty sure this behaviour started right after I inserted a new PVR-150 card. Is this because it will only start if the card drivers are installed correctly (which they arent)?

Perhaps you should read the installation instructions?

2. In order to install the right driver, I did a lot of reading, then downloaded ivtv 0.3.2s and tried to compile it, according to README and various HOWTOs. Got kernel source untarred. Went to make ivtv and got following error:

root@box:/ivtv-0.3.2s/driver# make
make CONFIG_VIDEO_IVTV=m -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-chw-4/build M=/ivtv-0.3.2s/driver/modules
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.9-chw-4/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [all} Error 2


Any help would be appreciated, as it feels like every step forward results in 3 steps back.


Thanks

Did you read the part about untarring the kernel source?

Thanks Brendan. As mentioned above, however, I did untar the kernel source successfully.

do a ls -l in /usr/src and make sure that linux is a symlink to the actual kernel directory, you may even want to remove it and recreate it even if the link soes exist.

Well, I'm a newbie, so I'm a bit nervous about deleting the symlink. I did check, however, and it is intact and seems to be functional.

Any other ideas?

To all who helped:

Thanks. In the end, it WAS in fact a symlink problem, but not the symlink mentioned here.

thanks
