When I do the mplayer /dev/video0 the only errors is this. But why won't it work? DO I uninstall everything and try it again? Even the new kernel and stuff?

mplayer: could not connect to socket

mplayer: No such file or directory

Failed to open LIRC support.

It says this. I don't think it works.

[root@localhost administrator]#

There is no dev/video0 whta do I do?

But when I type in

[root@localhost administrator]# ls /dev/video0

/dev/video0

[root@localhost administrator]#

Another person said to do something and it worded I could type in make and make install but now I can't enter in

7: type 'depmod -ae'

8: type 'modprobe ivtv'

Both of them say there is no action. When I go on as root it doesn't show anythign it just goes

[root@localhost driver]# depmod -ae

[root@localhost driver]#

Now what do I have to fix?

Tried it and it didn't work.

But I can't type make and I already deleted what it said and changed the file names. Do I download the drivers again and not delete them?

I entered that in it said everything already installed and then I tried make again and it said the same thing.

I added a folder build where it says there is no folder build and it says this

[administrator@localhost driver]$ make

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/build SUBDIRS=/home/administrator/ivtv-0.3.2c/utils/ivtv-0.3.2c/driver modules

make[1]: Entering directory `/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/build'

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `modules'. Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/build'

make: *** [all] Error 2

[administrator@localhost driver]$

Now I just need someone to help me and thanks.

Sorry I didn't see mandrake on the tilei I just seen installing sorry I would have posted this under hardware or software then.

I need help wiht my hauppauge 250 tv tuner/pvr. I looked here in Tips & Tricks

Then I followed the instructions and I type in make and I get this

make

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/build SUBDIRS=/home/administrator/ivtv-0.3.2c/utils/ivtv-0.3.2c/driver modules

make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-10mdk/build: No such file or directory. Stop.

make: *** [all] Error 2

Any Ideas how to solve?
