Problem installing driver

[Mr Momcilo Medic]

Hello,

I am Momcilo Medic from Serbia, and I was advised to write you mail with my 
problem. I am trying to install simple driver and it returns an error. In 
attachment is error message as well as driver I am trying to install.

I am pretty much a newbie for Linux, so if I left something out please do tell 
and I will send as many info as you need.

Thanks in advance,
Momcilo.

Hi Momcilo,


That error means the code is unable to find the kernel sources 
containing all the definitions from v4l2. Within the driver directory, 
look for a file named Makefile or Rules.make or Makefile.rules. In one 
of those, there should be a variable pointing to the kernel sources in 
your Linux distribution (usually in /usr/src/linux, consult the 
particular documentation in case you need to install the package or 
download from www.kernel.org). Set the variable to your particular 
kernel and recompile.


Regards,
