Just before Christmas, I was trying to get my Logitech Quickcam

to abandon it.

I've now been able to have another look at it.

I have the i686 version of the kernel, the i686 kernel-devel with
the i386 kernel headers. All for the '2798' kernel

Like Gilboa, on another thread, I downloaded the
gspcav1-20061216.tar.gz file from mxhaard.

But, when I try to compile gspca, I get the following error:


[root@localhost gspcav1-20061216]# make

The gspcav1-20061216.tar.gz has worked with another distro, with
no errors.


You are missing the kernel development tools.
$ yum install kernel-devel gcc

Gilboa.

Thank you *very* much for your help.

The web cam is now working in Kopete. Not tried it with other
programs.

There's just one thing, though.

In your instructions on the previous thread, you ended by doing two
modprobes to insert the modules. If I do a modprobe, I get the
message that the command 'modprobe' can't be found. Tried both as
root and as a user.

Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

Keith
