Sounds like your hardware has problems with PCI-PCI transfers. There is a README.freeze with some hints ... > o Upgraded to latest xawtv (3.78 ...

There is a Makefile rule to automagically run autoconf if configure.ac is newer than configure, but that isn't true for the files in the tarball: macintoy kraxel ~/bytesex# tar tvzf xawtv/xawtv_3.78.tar.gz | grep configure -rw-r--r-- kraxel/users 7868 2002-10-28 09:48:06 xawtv-3.78/configure.ac -rwxr-xr-x kraxel/users 197058 2002-10-30 12:26:42 xawtv-3.78/configure So unless you are changing something in configure.ac autoconf shouldn't be needed ...
