I have tried the Dapper guide at foolish.home.insightbb.com and I get
the following errors.




Code:

Im completely new to Linux and being able to use a webcam will stop my
frequent swicthing back to Windows everytime I need to chat with
someone and use it at the same time.



Any ideas would be great.  Also I am planning to use the webcam with
MSN Messenger service primarily and I believe that aMSN is the client
to use.  Are there any others that support webcams?  Or any plugins for
other clients such as GAIM/Jabber/Skype?





Sorry forgot to mention that I am on Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper Drake)
