You might want to give the already packaged version of VDR 1.7.7 a try:

http://e-tobi.net/vdrdevel-experimental/pool-lenny/source/vdr-standard/vdr_1.7.7-1devel1.dsc
http://e-tobi.net/vdrdevel-experimental/pool-lenny/source/vdr-standard/vdr_1.7.7-1devel1.diff.gz
http://e-tobi.net/vdrdevel-experimental/pool-lenny/source/vdr-standard/vdr_1.7.7.orig.tar.gz

It compiles with linux-libc-dev from Kernel 2.6.29 or later and it can
also make use of the DVB drivers from Igor Liplianins repository (with
some patches from Oliver Endriss):

http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental/pool-lenny/source/base/dvb-s2api-liplianin_0~2009-05-14.hg11804-2.dsc
http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental/pool-lenny/source/base/dvb-s2api-liplianin_0~2009-05-14.hg11804-2.diff.gz
http://e-tobi.net/vdr-experimental/pool-lenny/source/base/dvb-s2api-liplianin_0~2009-05-14.hg11804.orig.tar.gz

... which will gracefully replace the Kernels DVB/V4L driver (and restore
them when uninstalled).
