A tip for Mandrake 10.1 users
Today I was messing around and trying to get my Creative Webcam NX to work with my Mandrake 10.1 syste. After googling a bit and seeing others have had problems I thought I would post this tid bit.
To get the zc030x driver to compile, you will need to type in this command:
ln -s /usr/src/linux /lib/module/2.6.8.1-10mdk/build
This will create a link to your kernel source which the driver uses when it is being built. I saw one or two postings on various boards/forums where people were saying the driver (or the compile to build it) wasn't working for them. I thought I would post this just to let people know about it incase they see that error message.
As a side note, while the camera is now functional (the message log sees it being plugged in), it isn't fully there yet. The only programs that I can run that seem to pull a picture are xawtv and gqcam. Other programs (like webcam) report all kinds of errors and exit. Additionally the picture that is seen in the working programs is pretty messed up, so that tells me there is a lot of configuration left to do on my end. But hey, its a start.
