Pretty much expected.. Linux kernel 2.6.9 is pretty old. You may want to use 2.6.26 or higher
Doesn’t work with 2.6.31.20-generic
/home/jariza/Escritorio/webcam/gspcav1-20071224/Sunplus-jpeg/sp5xxfw2.h:122: error: called object ‘info’ is not a function
Doesn’t work at all with 2.6.31 (Ubuntu 9.10)
doesn’t work with 2.6.32-24, Ubuntu 10.04
Error 2
Unfortunately, gspca needs to be fixed. It no longer works with 9.10 or higher
Is there any news abuot gspca updates? I’m using Ubuntu 10.04 and i hope i can use my webcam as soon as possible!!!
Thanks a lot,
