What distro?  Where did you get MythTV (from a package or 
built-from-source)?  What MythTV version (output of mythbackend 
--version)?  What did you use for configure options?  What is the output of:

find /usr/include -name '*videodev*'

Please do a:

make distclean

on your repo, then apply the attached patch to the tree (from inside the 
top directory of your mythtv repo--the one that contains mythtv and 
mythplugins and checksums and such):

patch -Np1 -i /path/to/mythtv-add_v4l1_header.patch

then re-configure, make, make install and see if it works.  Then, report 
back with results of the test, and the answers to the above questions.

Thanks,
Mike
