Logitech webcam

[Urza9814]

Ok, so I have a Logitech Quickcam USB webcam...specifically, the Legocam. qc-usb says it is supported, and I've had it working on Mandriva before (2006 or 2007, not sure). Anyways, it wasn't working recently on 2007.1, but I decided to wait until 2008.1 to upgrade and try then, since I didn't use it much. Still doesn't work. Works fine on windows though. First thing I tried was installing dkms-qc-usb-messenger and qc-usb-messenger-kernel-dekstop-latest through urpmi. No luck. So, I downloaded the qc-usb-0.6.6 driver, but when I run 'make all' I get the following error:

[root@localhost qc-usb-0.6.6]# make all

I follow the advice and run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on my kernel source, everything goes fine...but it still doesn't work. The files include/linux/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are there too...

[adamw]

that just looks like a bug in the code of the driver itself. We should file a bug on dkms-qc-usb-messenger so the maintainer can look into it...

kernel source isnt installed

[Urza9814]

[root@localhost qc-usb-0.6.6]# urpmi kernel-source-2.
Packages kernel-source-2.6.24.4-1mnb-1-1mnb1.i586, kernel-source-2.6.24.4-1mnb-1-1mnb1.i586 are already installed

Look at Wireless Driver available and download...

[iphitus]

[root@localhost qc-usb-0.6.6]# urpmi kernel-source-2.
Packages kernel-source-2.6.24.4-1mnb-1-1mnb1.i586, kernel-source-2.6.24.4-1mnb-1-1mnb1.i586 are already installed

 

Then either your kernel source doesnt match, or the build process for the driver cannot find it.
