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)
