Did that, but still not working:

[root@giga11 /opt/DVB-0.9/driver]# make

video_register_device is found as (sorry the long lines):

[root@giga11 /opt/DVB-0.9/driver]# grep video_register_device 
/usr/include/linux/videodev.h /usr/src/linux/include/linux/videodev.h
/usr/include/linux/videodev.h:extern int video_register_device(struct 
video_device *, int type);
/usr/src/linux/include/linux/videodev.h:extern int 
video_register_device(struct video_device *, int type, int nr);

That is, two different prototypes, and the gcc command seems to use the 
/usr/src/linux version. What is that pathdown.sh (found in 
/usr/src/linux-2.4.5/scripts)?

My environment is (still) Red Hat 7.1, with 2.4.5 kernel sources installed 
in /usr/src/linux-2.4.5 and symlinked to /usr/src/linux.
