Hi Arthur,

It seems complicated.

First, you must have a running kernel. Say 2.6.27-rc4 (but it may any
kernel from 2.6.18).

Assuming you have the kernel sources and you have compiled and installed
it, you should have:
- in '/usr/src/linux-2.6.27-rc4/', a file '.config' (which should be the
  same as '/boot/config').
- in '/lib/modules/`uname -r`/', a link 'build' which points to
  '/usr/src/linux-2.6.27-rc4'.

You have cloned my mercurial tree in '/usr/src/gspca'. Do:

	cd /usr/src/gspca
	cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.27-rc4/.config v4l/
	make menuconfig
		(or 'make gconfig'...)

In menuconfig, add the GSPCA driver if it is not set.
Then do:

	make
	sudo make install

This last command will overwrite all the V4L modules
of /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/).
This is normal.

If your webcam was connected, unplug it and, as root, do:

	rmmod gspca_zc3xx
	rmmod gspca_main

Then plug the webcam. There should be no error looking at:

	dmesg | tail

Best regards.
