Ok, I tried to install luvcview using the instructions found here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingLogitechQuickcamPro5000OnEdgy
Even though for a different cam and system, I didn't see why it would be 
wrong.  This is the instructions given:

wget http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca50x/Investigation/uvc/luvcview-20060920.tar.gz
 zcat luvcview-20060920.tar.gz |tar xvf -
 cd luvcview-20060920
 make
 make install
luvuview

Obviously I changed "20060920" to "20070512" at each instruction.

There were lots of warnings and errors generated and I have no idea what it meant.  The output that appeared in my terminal window is attached as a text file.

Does anyone who knows what this means have any suggestions for me?

Thanks

Patton
