VLS works with v4l2 API so you must have a kernel that supports it, 
2.4.x does not!. The latest 2.5 and upcoming 2.6 kernel will support 
v4l2 as multimedia interface.

The channel.h look like a vls header file, that cannot find the dvb 
headers. Add a --with-libdvb to the vls configure line .

For userland applications the linux directory is in /usr/src/linux 
because it should match the header glibc is compiled against.

The /usr/src/linux points generally to the installed kernel and should 
only be used for compiling kernel modules (drivers) outside the kernel tree.
