After a little extra change for the includes (changed them to point to the ones of multiproto). I was able to compile the hole stuff without errors. However scan always gives me an DVBFE_SET_PARAMS ioctl fail with "Invalid argument".

Well I not sure with anything. Since /dev/dvb is only showing up after 
compile the new modules I think so. I do not really have a clue to 
verify it. I'm playing around with the trial and error system.

I will try that after reinstalling YDL6. Currently I switch between 
Fedora9 and YDL6 to see what distribution gives lesser headache.

Well yes. *g* My Ps3 is my Multimedia center ^^. Ok its not so Media 
center at the moment but it will be...
So all files for me has to be compiled for PPC/PPC64 architecture.

Ok I can tell that my problem is Distribution independent 
</search?hl=de&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=independent&spell=1>. 
On Fedora it's a bit harder to get multiproto running (/dev/dvb appears) 
but the error with scan and szap is the same ("ioctl DVBFE_GET_INFO 
failed: Invalid Argument").

This time I tried these steps (based on the hints in previous posts)
1. hg clone http://www.jusst.de/hg/multiproto
2. cd into multiproto and run "patch -p1 < 
patch_add_pctv452e_tt_s2_36x0.diff" (the fixed one from Jens Message at 
22:09) -> no errors
3. run "make" and "make install" -> well gives compile errors so I 
followed Faruks instructions
3b) cd to multiproto/linux/drivers/media/video
 and rename the Makefile to like Makefile_
after this i won't compile any analog drivers and it will compile dvb
and radio drivers.
3c) 3. run "make clean", "make" and "make install" ->works now
4. hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/dvb-apps
5. cd into dvb-apps and run "patch -p1 < patch_sca_szap.diff" (attached 
in the message) -> no errors
 6. copy version.h and frontend.h -> Well that one was tricky I found 
out that the place where the include files are in /usr/include/linux/dvb 
is that correct. However after copy them to this location make in the 
scan and szap directory works. And make in the dvb-apps now gives an 
error that Fields are already defined. Well however thats not in the 
steps so I do..
7. cd into dvb-apps/util/<scan,szap> and run "make" -> well that 
works....to compile
ioctl DVBFE_GET_INFO failed: Invalid Argument...I'm starting to hate 
that words...

What I did not try at the moment:

Hmm i really don't know, anyway here is my copy already been patched
and compiled. If the binary scan doesn't work run "make clean" and
then "make"

-------------------------------------------
Well and the one I'm not sure about if that is really nesecary when applying the patch from step 5.

I'm glad it worked out for you. The dvb-apps scan never worked with 
multiproto there is another version for multiproto you can download it 
from here. http://jusst.de/manu/scan.tar.bz2
