Of course, the CDK package has to be installed. apps/tuxzap/README says 
it, and H. Sandmann also mentions it on his webpage. H. Sandmann even
gives short instructions how to get and install the package.

Well, yes... if everything goes alright, nothing appears on the screen -
only errors are reported. But afterwards "ls -l" should show the binary
and executable file
   [...]
   -rwxr-xr-x   1 501      501         17887 Okt  3 09:46 test_front*
   [...]
Now enter "test_front" to start the program.

Same as above

   -rwxr-xr-x   1 501      501         14668 Okt  3 09:52 test_dvr*

and type "test_dvr".

Ahh, first success.

I just can say that I ran through the whole procedure again: Compiling of
all drivers and applications of the dvb-0.9-20010822 package under
Mandrake 8.0: No compiling errors, drivers start correctly by "make
insmod", all apps work well.
But I had problems when trying to load driver modules by modprobe. So
maybe this is not the right way at first attempt. Just to enter into your
other posting: You must at least list all modules behind a "below" line in
/etc/modules.conf which are not loaded automatically by the depmod 
dependencies:

   options dvb  ....
   below dvb    tuner tda8083 L64781 stv0299 VES1820 VES1893 saa7146_v4l

(Driver modules of my patched dvb-0.8.2 package load without any problems
per modprobe/kmod.)


Bye,
     Rolf
