That implies that debian sarge did something very strange to either
gcc or autoconf because video4linux is checked for with this logic
in configure.ac:
case $host in
*-*-linux*)
AC_CHECK_HEADER(linux/videodev.h,
[have_video4linux=true
AC_DEFINE(HAVE_V4L, 1,
[Building for Linux - using the video4linux API])],
[AC_MSG_ERROR([videodev.h not found - please install the
linux kernel headers])])
;;
*)
AC_MSG_WARN([Did not find linux platform - video4linux functionality will be
disabled])
;;
esac
If $host doesn't have "-linux" in it or if the kernel header
linux/videodev.h is in a different place then the check for video4linux
will not succeed.
At the beginning of the ./configure output there should be lines
which look like this:
checking build system type... i686-suse-linux
checking host system type... i686-suse-linux
checking target system type... i686-suse-linux
What does your output say? It might have saved a little time if the
output from ./configure were attached ;)

Did you did remember to, after installing new shared libraries, run
"ldconfig"? :)
