[mythtv-users] make error

Thank you for getting back to me.

The version of ivtv I am trying to build is 0.6.2

I pulled in the previous version (0.4.5) and tried to build it.  It
stopped with an error message that 0.4.5 only works for versions up
through 2.6.15

The kernel I am trying to build against is 2.6.16.14- 6-default.  Any
help available will be appreciated.

Thank you

Harry
