Hi

If I run the configure script, the following error appears:

checking linux/videodev.h usability... no
checking linux/videodev.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev.h:     check for missing prerequisite 
headers?
configure: WARNING: linux/videodev.h: see the Autoconf documentation

The config.log says:

I'm using Kernel 2.6.3-rc2 and the headers from it.
