When I try to do make I get the following error. Any suggestions?

I found this thread (and forum) earlier today when Googling, having encountered the same issue.  The good news is that it is now resolved, the video4linux v4l-dvb code maintainers having now uploaded fixed source code.

If you download the sources again and run make, it should now compile.

For completeness, I do so as follows:

hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb

(or, within my local v4l-dvb directory, hg pull -u)

Then run make clean (if hg pull -u was used), make, then sudo make install.
