-----------------------------------
Getting the same error. This is on Fedora 14 using the kernel-devel
package

Managed to get things to compile by
git clone git://linuxtv.org/media_build.git
cd media_build/linux
make dir DIR=rubbish
cd ..
./build.sh

Have not tried installing or using these as this was a trial run on a
notebook before I actually upgrade my myth server to Fedora 14.
It might be worthwhile trying just replacing
/lib/modules/2.6.35.9-64.fc14.i686.PAE/kernel/drivers/media/IR/mceusb.ko
with the new compiled one, rather than patching everything with the make
install.
