My guess is that the errors are not directly related to whether or not V4L is in the kernel.

My first guess is that you don't have kernel sources installed. I'm not a redhat person, but do an ``ls -R /usr/src/linux'' and see if you get much stuff. If you don't get oodles and oodles of stuff, you'll need to figure out how to install it. If you do, post the first few errors from your make and we'll see if we can figure out the problem.
