g++ Question

I run MythTV on my HTPC, and my recording device is an [url=http://www.nextcomwireless.com/R5000/home.htm]R5000[/url]. For years I've had to patch MythTV and compile to work with the R5000, but as time's passed the patch developer is gone, the maker of the R5000 is gone, and I am left to try and keep this thing going with new versions of Myth.

I have adapted the patch to Myth0.27 and it compiles cleanly. But when I start the Myth backend (server) I get this:

I am not a coding genius, but it looks like the r5000 is not being init-ed before opened. I just don't know what to do about it. It's definitely not a permissions problem.

The error calles out the r5000device.cpp file, which is [url=https://paste.debian.net/238741/]here[/url].

Can anyone see what might be wrong here?
Can anyone advise? I am without TV.
