Here "make install" also runs "depmod -ae", if it doesn't do that the module will not be found. Installing USB Video Class driver... make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25-rc1-git2' INSTALL /usr/src/uvc_svn/trunk/uvcvideo.ko DEPMOD 2.6.25-rc1-git2-smp make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.25-rc1-git2' depmod -ae If you really need to know where the module is, "find /lib/modules/2.6.23.14-115.fc8 -name uvcvideo.ko print0", however, from the Makefile, it should have been installed in the directory you looked for it in. You could also copy it there from the source directory where it's built and run "depmod -ae". Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
