I installed the libavc1394-devel package from the rpm
libavc1394-devel-0.3.1-7.i386.rpm
using rpm2tgz (i use slackware) and it looks like libavc1394 is in /usr/include:

so i dont understand why it wont configure. Any ideas? Is configure looking in the wrong place? Thanks!

You can probably pass something like --with-libavc1394dir=/path/to/files to the configure script. Run ./configure --help | less and see what options you've got.

Hello,

I got the same error message that put me on the wrong track for several hours :(
The solution apparead to be quite simple:
Install also the development libraries for libraw1394 and all should work (at least for me).

No dvgrab is working for me and I tried it (suse 9.2).
The moment it starts grabbing it quits with a segment fault.

Any idea?
