I think that the problem is /linux/dvb/frontend.h version in
linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic sources.

Yes, as Amando already noted, the problem is because of parameter handling
in earlier DVB API versions.

Unfortunatelly, the driver required version 5.0 DVB API or newer.

You have to update your kernel's DVB subsystem to 5.0 or newer to get
driver compiled. Or do some local source "cooking" like adding necessary
defines from newer headers or so. I would recommend to update linux DVB
core, it is simpler and works pretty good.
Or switch to some newer kernel, which has version 5 API included already.

You can check if kernel has version 5.0 or newer DVB API included by
checking include/linux/dvb/version.h:

#define DVB_API_VERSION 5
