ivtv-0.10.6 is really, really old. I no longer provide support for it.
You have two options: 1) upgrade to a newer kernel, I recommend 2.6.26 or up.
2) install the v4l-dvb drivers (the 'bleeding edge' drivers as mentioned on
ivtv-drivers.org). I believe these will compile for 2.6.18, but I'm not 100%
certain.
Note that the v4l-dvb repository may have some compilation problems since a
lot of merge work is ongoing to prepare for the next linux kernel. It should
be stable again in a week or two.

Hans
