Do they cause comparable lamentations?
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. > >test_front.c is a proper candidate of those test programs in > >DVB/apps/test.

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.)
