| |     Hi Steve did as you asked but my system can't find gspcagui -d
| | /dev/video0
| |  so it can't work. I guess gspcagui should be in /usr/bin?
|

|
|
| not sure what that app is, but i dont think what i gave you installs
| that.  if you have a compatible camera, (hundreds are), and you have
| installed the driver, plug it in, and it should "just work" in skype,
| ekiga, and other apps as well.
|
| did you get any compile erros, and did you reboot?

|     Hi Steve, I just got back to it. Here is the err file:

| Karl

looks ok to me, now plug in the cam, and do this

lsmod | grep gspca

and

lsusb


are you getting something like this in the output?

steve at ubuntu-laptop:~$ lsmod | grep gspca
gspca                 679760  0
videodev               29312  1 gspca
usbcore               138632  5 gspca,usbhid,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd

and this

steve at ubuntu-laptop:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
