Wow I'm doing good and answering my own posts.  For archival purposes
I found the answer from another post.

ivtv installation:
1) Get the latest drivers (ivtv.tv/releases) and unpack the tarball.
2) Descend into the "driver" directory.  In this directory, type

> make
> sudo make install

(I generally do these as a reg. user).  FWIW I also follow this with

> sudo /sbin/depmod

3) Leave "driver" and go into "utils" directory.  From here,

> sudo make install

4) From the same utils directory, also type the command

> sudo install -c -m 0444 ivtvdev_drv_o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ivtvdev_drv.o
