I have spent many hours trying to get my Logitech Quickcam Chat webcam
working in Linux, getting some excellent advice from the "Expert"
list - but no success. I have tried many suggestions from several
distro's mailing lists and forums. However, only one suggestion has
worked. It happens to be the simplest and quickest!
Here it is, in case it helps anyone.
Some may say that I could have cut corners and omitted some reboots,
but I wanted to take it slowly and methodically and not guess
anything.
First of all, I did a new KDE installation of 2007, to give myself a
fresh start. Then I installed all the upgrades. Next I installed the
kernel's stripped source, and rebooted.
After the reboot, I went to:
http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
>From there I downloaded the gspcav1-20060925.tar.gz file (*not* one of
the .rpm files).
Next, I did an 'su' into root, went to the tarball in my download
directory and un-tarred it. Then I did a cd to its folder.
There is no ./configure, so I ran make followed by make install.
Next I did a reboot.
Finally I ran kopete, and there I was looking at myself - success!
Hope this may be of interest.
Cheers
Keith
