Probably that's the reason.

If I could reproduce this it may be, but as I have no such problems
(and also never had) I cannot fix it so fast, since I don't know
where to search for the bug (if it is one in RHIDE and not in the
bios of your Card).

At first: Like SET answered already in the news, if you cannot include
the exact filename, where the error occours, I cannot help you. And also
the EXACT error message is of interest (I never saw a message
" unterminated #IF block" produced by gcc) But here
is now also one other thing. Do I understand you correct, that you are
trying to compile the files in the tvdiffs directory? If yes,
THAT IS WRONG!! Have you ever looked at them? They are not compilable.
Please use in the main RHIDE source directory the command:

make tvision/include/tv.h

to created the needed TV sources from the diffs in the tvdiffs directory
and then rebuild RHIDE.

BTW: I have a new email, and if it makes not so much work for you,
please try to post in the news group which I read also mostly every
day but there are also others which can answer.
