It seems Gentoo now has MythTV 0.15.1 in portage, so I tried building
it yesterday and got stuck at linuxtv-dvb as well. Can you describe
what exactly I need to do with the headers to successfully build
linuxtv-dvb?

I'd be interested in the clean way to do it, but so far I couldn't
figure it out. I also went to forums.gentoo.org and looked for advice
there, but most of the post revolve around remove the linuxtv-dvb
dependancy altogether, which obviously won't work for my Hauppauge
DVB-c (and DVB-s in the future).

Just for the record: I'm using gentoo-dev-sources (2.6.8-r3) on a
Shuttle SN41G2 (nForce2). So far I've been following these howtos:
