I am not sure why you could not compile I didn't have any problem with that
version on Ubuntu and my system but everyone has different hardware. You may
try the ivtv mailing list
http://ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Mailinglists
hopefully they can give you more detail on the problem since your having
troubles just compiling. Once you get it installed and you have any problems
hopefully we can be more helpful.
