You must run the command make && make install in the SAME DIRECTORY as the downloaded files.

However, this camera works out-of-the-box on Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.04.

Help?

rchive: /home/brad/Desktop/DriverRobot_Setup.exe

a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the

I do not know if the webcam actually works because I am using a virtual machine, so I cannot attach a webcam.

What is the device file that should exist after loading the module?

Again thanks for this tutorial!

You don’t have to manually copy the stuff from the http://svn.berlios.de/ url.. It’s a svn url which means it’s actually a lot easier to get the files. Here’s what you do:
(Subversion is a program that lets developers make it easy for people to access the source code, and if they want to, edit it!)

First, install the subversion client, don’t worry, it’s small!
$ sudo apt-get install subversion

Then, go to the folder you want to put the files in, and run:
$ svn co http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk/

This will download all the files automagically! Generally this is how you download any files from “http://svn…” URLs in general!

Also, it is both unnecessary and moreover, UNSAFE to run:
$ sudo make

You only have to run
$ make

But you DO have to run
$ sudo make install
because usually this is putting stuff in system-critical spots!
