Do you mean zvbi and zvbi-devel ?

With this sources the compilation do works, xawtv do works but not v4lctl:

http://dl.bytesex.org/cvs-snapshots/xawtv-20070514-115618.tar.gz

and i need badly the v4lctl :-(

So, trying with

http://dl.bytesex.org/releases/xawtv/xawtv-3.95.tar.gz

The compilation problem here (Fedora 7 full updated) is:

# ./configure --enable-xft --enable-dv --enable-zvbi --enable-alsa
.....
# make


The problem is:
...
In file included from /usr/include/curses.h:175,
from console/fbtv.c:24:
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.2/include/stdbool.h:36:1: warning: 
this is the location of the previous definition
In file included from console/fbtv.c:44:
console/fs.h:2:20: error: _FSlib.h: No such file or directory

_In a Sackware box this _FSlib.h_ is part of the package:

x11-devel-6.9.0-i486-13_slack11.0:usr/X11R6/include/X11/fonts/FSlib.h

    (In Slackware all version of xawtv do compile and works 100%)

This is just in case of someone in in the mood to look further...

Thanks.
