All installed and I still have the same errors.

looking at just the ./configure output when I cd into /tmp/dvd/libdvdcss-1.2.5 I  get this:

A bunch of 'no's and when looking into my /sys I clearly do not have a /sys/dev directory.  My /sys looks like this:

block/  bus/  class/  devices/  firmware/  fs/  kernel/  module/  power/



and even if I do 'make' I get the same errors as well
