Based on some positive reports in our community forums, I purchased a Logitech Quickam Messenger webcam. I have now spent nearly two days exploring every solution my feeble mind can think of! I have come to the following conclusions, all this under a fully updated Feisty:
1.spcaxx cource code downloaded from Synaptic will not compile, at least I haven't had any success so far 2 EasyCam2 downloaded from Synaptic will not work, a makefile error message is displayed on startup 3. Ekiga will not recognize the webcam, although it shows up in Feisty's Hardware listing. 4.qc-usb-messenger-1.6 will not compile 5. The error messages thrown by the latter indicate that my computer, an HP Pavillion Media Centre, suffers from a BIOS APIC error 40. I wonder whether this APIC error is what is causing the compile difficulties with the other source listings? Is it not possible to do a noapic boot? If only I could fix the APIC error, I believe life would become much more simple!
