OH DEAR

[Maurice Murphy]

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your valuable advice.  I don't think my poor French is the 
problem, but thanks anyway for the offer of help in that regard.

I think I mentioned that I cannot get EasyCam2 to run.  It comes up with 
a 'Make Install'  error every time I click on the 'Starting 
Installation' button.

I am beginning to suspect my problems relate to the two TV adapters I 
have installed on this machine.  One is the original Hauppauge 150 PVR 
that came with the box and is virtually impossible to remove.  The 
second, and the one I use, is an old WinTV2000 analog adapter.  I 
believe that these two characters are fighting the webcam installation 
process for access to /dev/video0.  Could this be?  And if so, what 
could I do to have the webcam use another video location?  I have no 
clue as to how to do this.  Maybe someone on line would have knowledge 
as to how to do this.

Thanks again, Bruno, for the link to the site.  If I can solve the video 
access problem, I'm sure it will be most helpful.

Maurice
