Hi,
I have installed Slackware current on my Sony Vaio VGN-CR11S laptop. Almost everything works and I am impressed of how smooth and fast Slackware is on my laptop. There is one problem though, my webcam is not recognized. An lsusb gives this:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05ca:1839 Ricoh Co., Ltd Visual Communication Camera VGP-VCC6 [R5U870]
However, dmesg | grep r5u870 or dmesg doesnt list my webcam, so i need to install a driver. I used the driver "r5u870_patched.tar.bz2" from "http://sites.google.com/site/avilella/vaiosz". But when i try to make i get following errors:
Code:

Why do i get this error? Anyone out there who did manage to enable r5u870 with Slackware?
Is there a newer driver version out there or perharps a specific driver for Slackware that I should use instead, though i cannot find it anywhere when googling.
