Hi,
I have a logitech webcam: Bus 001 Device 006: ID 046d:092c Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Chat which isn't working withSkype or MSN.
It works with XawTV.
Using Linux 6.
I tried to install the driver : http://mxhaard.free.fr/download.html
1. Created a folder in Home directory and called it Webcam.
2. Drag and drop tar,gz file to that folder.
3. Double clicked the tar.gz file - that untared it and created a folder called "gspcav1-20071224". Clicked on the new folder to open it and find "Extract" on the top menu. Clicked on Extract.
4. Opened a terminal and typed: "cd Webcam/gspcav1-20071224".
5. type: "sudo ./gspca_build
I get the folowing errors:
"cec@cec-desktop ~/Webcam/gspcav1-20071224 $ sudo ./gspca_build
REMOVE the old module if present

My first response in a case like this is always
