V3 is out for over 1,5 years. It's unlikely that you have such an old 
driver...

It's more likely that VDR simply doesn't find the required header files 
or that it finds the wrong files.

Grep through the source of VDR and find the place and the reason for the 
 error message.

I don't recommend to use "makelinks" anymore, because it messes with 
your kernel source tree. Instead, build the driver outside of the kernel 
 with "build-2.6" directory.

While you're at it, you can update to 2.6.4, too... 8-)
