I just had this exact same issue last night ("error: linux/ivtv.h: No
such file or directory").
The problem is gentoo specific. Gentoo separates the kernel header
files into its own separate package. This can cause confusion when you
try to compile a newer kernel without the newer headers. In my case, I
was compiling ivtv for linux kernel 2.6.25 (~x86
gentoo-sources-2.6.25-r5 with reiser4 patch), while my header files
were 2.6.23(? dont know for sure).
I fixed it by renaming the existing /usr/include/linux directory to
linux.old and symlinking /usr/include/linux to
/usr/src/linux/include/linux.
Also make sure that /usr/src/linux is a symlink to your 2.6.24 kernel,
if applicable.
I suppose the proper way to solve this would have been to emerge the
matching header files. Not sure why I didnt think of that last night.
