You need at least  ivtv-0.2.0-rc3c.tgz or better to compile on amd64.
It compiles nicely with some minor warnings with gcc-3.4. I have been
able to compile everything but as everyone knows a clean compile does
not mean that it will run perfectly. Anyway the problem is with mythtv
because the ivtv driver works fine with xine, and mplayer. I'm not
sure if mythtv is 64 bit ready or not. I was wondering if there were
any 64 bit patches running around for mythtv, or something else that
I'm missing? This is the only show stopper to make the jump to 64 bit.
I guess I could stop watching TV, and use my computer for something
productive ;-)). 

Note the 0.1.9 was the last stable release, but the bleeding edge
releases have amd64 support directly. 

Thanks for the info from everyone.
