You probably mean this:
# ln -s /dev/video0 /dev/video

Generally, you should ask Quickcam developers (I am not one of them). But
from what I see, the driver for the camera is not loaded, or the camera is
not plugged in, or the driver hasn't claimed the camera. You need to have
a look at files:
/proc/bus/usb/devices
/var/log/messages <== When you plug the camera in too!
and run
/sbin/lsmod
If everything seems to be OK then I guess you need to email Quickcam
people *and* send them the information from these files. I don't have this
camera and can't tell you what is wrong, unless it's something very
simple.
