Strange modprobe problem... [SOLVED]

Linux driver for FujiFilm FinePix digital cameras in PC-CAM (i.e. webcam) mode

 

 

driver/

contains the driver. Compile with "make". Load with

"modprobe videodev; insmod finepix.ko"

 

userspace/

Type "make" to compile.

fpix: test program, independant of the driver. Uses libusb to

      directly access the camera and capture a frame, saved

      under frame.jpg.

 

fpixtest: test program. Uses V4L2 to capture an image.

 

I'm trying to follow the instructions above to install the V4L driver for my Fuji camera to use it as a webcam.

 

I can compile the driver successfully but when i type modprobe videodev, this is what I get:

 

$ modprobe videodev
bash: modprobe: command not found
$

 

Any ideas?

 

EDIT: SOLVED. modprobe MUST be run as root!
