Problems installing driver for Creative PD0040 webcam
 

Hi guys, I desperately need help fro you guys. I tried to install driver ov511-2.30 for my Creative PD0040 webcam. I followed all the instruction - make clean, make install. But it somehow failed. There are two error regarding to ovcamchip_core.c stating cannot identified 'id' initializer.

My OS is Fedora Core 4 with 2.6.11 kernel.

Your help is really appreciated.

Really have no idea what should I do now... have been looking for solution for a few days... thanks man for your reply...

hello,
I downloaded ov511-2.30 and try to install it on RHEL4 and it installed successfully without problem. try using new version.

Really happy to hear that man...

can you specify what version of Red Hat are you using? I think better I change the OS to suite the driver. I'm totally running out of time and energy... it's been three days my project 'hanged'. Same camera right? Creative PD0040.

Finally I got some help that have been waited for so long.. Really hope to get your message soon.
