Woke up this morning realising I was making a foolish mistake, which I corrected by using root priveleges:
linux-m9e8:/v4l-dvb/v4l-dvb-5bc6ac2cc5b2/v4l-dvb # make
make -C /v4l-dvb/v4l-dvb-5bc6ac2cc5b2/v4l-dvb/v4l

Stop. make[1]: Leaving directory /v4l-dvb/v4l-dvb-5bc6ac2cc5b2/v4l-dvb/v4l’
make: *** [all] Error 2
But as you can see, no difference…
At this point I would be happy to get a reply of ‘Dude, you have a problem - I just tried it, it works fine.’
On the contrary, using root privileges trying to build external kernel modules was the foolish mistake.

Thanks for the web-pin link caf4926 - that’s potentially useful, although I didn’t have much luck. It installed a new kernel and new v4l, but not one with the specific fix I need. I am waiting for a change developed to the Af9015 module to percolate down to the final? production? open release? version of the V4L-DVB suite. I thought it was already there, but it would seem not. Possibly the build I used labelled current.,
Akoellh - did you read my two posts where you would have seen that I got an identical failure with both accounts? I guess I have some idiosyncratic problem with my install, since it works for you. Is there a reason .config would be missing for me? I may have missed a very basic step…
OneClick’s are problematic sometimes, you as the user do need to think on your feet a bit. Look out for repo’s it asks to add and make sure they sure not duplicates of what you already have.
I had it working fine on 11.1 using a version I had to build. I had hoped that the built in version in 11.2 so I would not have to go rebuild every kernel upgrade. Unfortunatlely I could not get the second tuner to lock on any channels, but it would show both tuners.
I ended up having to build v4l to get both tuners on the af9015 working.
The only challenge I had was that the version of the kernel headers did not match the kernel I had installed and I could not seem to find the one I was after.
I’d get an error running the make, so I just created a symlink to the allow me to do the make. I know that it far from the best solution but it is only for mythtv so I was not too worried.
I’ve just been running 2 frontends at the same time on live TV and all seems good
