From the IVTV FAQ. Did you read it?
* * * Symlink /usr/include/linux to /usr/src/linux/include/linux
* * * [root@host]# mv /usr/include/linux /usr/include/linux.old
* * * [root@host]# ln -s /usr/src/linux/include/linux /usr/include/linux

..and also a howto

Also in general, here's some advice that will help you. If a project has a mailing list, you will always get more accurate (and quicker) answers if you join it vs. on a forum like this one...unless you get lucky and someone else has just installed it and remembers exactly what they did.

HarryC,
I appreciate your suggestions. I was using the howto, but I wasn't sure whether or not to trust the FAQ because it's from 2003. As a newbie, the biggest challenge I find is how to determine the relevance of all the info that's available. Some info is simply old, so perhaps it doesn't apply to the current kernel. Often, the info is for other distros, so it's anyone's guess whether it's applicable. I'm always worried about making a change that really messed things up because I don't have any skill in recovering from problems. I will use the mailing list, it seems like the best way to get pertinent info.
Thanks,
Charlie
