i have followed several web sites directions to install the pwc driver for my logitech quickcam pro4000 to no avail. It always ends the with the same errors, see below.............

knoppix@0[pwc-10.0.11]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.11/source SUBDIRS=/home/knoppix/pwc-10.0.11 modules
/bin/sh: /usr/src/linux-2.6.11/scripts/gcc-version.sh: No such file or directory
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.11'
make[2]: scripts/Makefile.build: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `scripts/Makefile.build'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [_module_/home/knoppix/pwc-10.0.11] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.11'
make: *** [all] Error 2


This is a knoppix hd install with the debian option not the knoppix.
in my /usr/src/linux-2.6.11 there is no "scripts" file so that in turn means no
"gcc-version.sh" either. There are "makefile" files in /usr/src/linux-2.6.11
and in /usr/src/modules/pwc, and in /home/knoppix/pwc-10.0.11. I have tried the "make" command from all three areas to no avail, always with the same outcome.
Anyone have this same problem?

hi,
I dont know why you dont have gcc-version.sh in /usr/src/linux-2.6.11. I am using RHEL and i have it. Quick solutions is try adding scripts directory under /usr/src/linux-2.6.11 and then creating gcc-version.sh. Contents of gcc-version.sh are

apt-get install pwc-source module-assistant fakeroot build-essential
cd /usr/src
m-a a-i pwc

ok, here's the output for that......

There's what i get when i did it your way dracae, i hope this helps some

Dracae??? Did that give you any more information at all with my problem?

dracae?? does this help any?

*** bump ***

It looks like it's not picking up your kernel version, etc. There are a few env variables, KSRC, KDIR, KVERS that probably need to be set. KSRC and KDIR may be synonymous.
Make sure you have the kernel headers for your kernel.
apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
Try to build it manually by like so.
cd /usr/src
extract pwc source
cd modules/pwc*
debian/rules binary_modules
cd ../../
install new deb

I'm sorry, i dont understand what your wanting me to do after the point of "cd modules/pwc*"..
what do you mean by

debian/rules binary_modules
cd ../../
install new deb

Inside your source directory is another directory "debian", inside that is a script named "rules". That script takes a handful of arguments, one being binary_modules, which builds the modules.
Hence,
debian/rules binary_modules

Thank you for all your help dracae... just couldnt get it. So i switched to Unbuntu, now everything is working after some editing and setup of course. even my pro4000 is looking better in ubuntu than it does in xp. Getting closer to dumpin the monopoly.....
