Nice work: fixes everything except my problem with ffmpeg-0.4.9 but I've 
bodged that so it compiles fully.

Bizarrely, it starts OK if I run vdr directly from a shell prompt but stalls 
at the "Creating database for device 0" bit, even though exactly the same 
command, switches, and options are used in each case! Not worked that one out 
yet!

I now have an entry in the main menu. Should I have any applications with what 
I have installed (plugin and make install in the plugin directory)? Or have I 
managed to set one of the paths incorrectly in Make.config? Looking at that, 
it points at /usr/local/vdr/apps which currently doesn't exist!

Right...created, found the test apps, copied them accross. Trying to run one 
of them causes a seg fault. Running under gdb gives:
