DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.04.2"
GNU/Linux 2.6.24-23-generic
'Build Essential' is installed. Reports as latest version.

I have tried installing this WinTV Nova DVB S2 card: card (see it here
tinyurl.com/cw3upv) using two similar methods using different sources.
Both give the same kind of problem. I have got the firmware down OK but I
am having problems installing the driver. Below is a listing of the part
of the installation where the problem arises (file missing for the 'make')

As you can see it can't find a file in the 'build' directory. Not
surprising as that directory doesn't exist. So I made a 'build' directory
but still it wouldn't work. I have some experience with Linux but it is
limited. I am using Ubuntu 8.04, fully updated to latest version, kernel
2.6.24-23-generic .
Can anyone tell me how I can proceed from here please?
