I have given up building a gentoo mythtv box, the version of kernel and linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1 didn't work happily together.

Which kernel version are you using? The kernel's DVB code is reasonably up-to-date, so if you're using a fairly recent 2.6 kernel, you probably don't need to compile in linux-dvb separately.

I have had success with Mandrake 10.0 community and linuxtv-dvb-1.1.1. So I reinstalled Mandrake10.0 and recompiled linuxtv-dvb against the kernel. I downloaded, and extracted mythtv-0.18, ran ./configure --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/src/linuxtv-1.1.1/ then ran qmake mythtv.pro <http://mythtv.pro> then make and make install.

The DVB path should be the path to the linux include files. I don't think that's the same as the linux-dvb source files. If your kernel is 2.6.12 or later, you can (and ./configure will) point to the kernel source tree: /usr/src/linux/include. If your kernel is earlier, you mustn't include the kernel source directly - copy just the dvb stuff somewhere else, and include that.

as a standard user I ran mythtv-setup and configured the capture card I selected dvb and the message I get is recompile with dvb support.
Where have I gone wrong?

Have you tried doing this as root? Also, have you confirmed that your DVB card is working using e.g. tzap? Check out Martin Smith's Myth/DVB set-up guide at:
