Unable to open Video device - creative web cam


I have just done a new install for Mandrake 10 - previously running 9.1. Web Cam worked OK with 9.1 but with 10.0 I get an unable to open video device. From dmesg it appears that the modules load OK - bit criptic regarding the decompression module - apears to be enabled but a later sections implies that decompressor not available. Any ideas? dmesg output follows.

Linux version 2.6.3-4mdk (nplanel@n3.mandrakesoft.com) (gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-6mdk)) #1 Tue Mar 2 07:26:13 CET 2004

More info - after some fiddleing around and viewing dmesg I have found that it appears that the webcam is working ok and all the drivers load OK but when the gnomemeeting application starts is cannot open a decompression utility. I tried using XawTV with the cam and a more explicit message comes up. This time the error informs me that libquicktime is missing. I have checked and it is installed and resides in /usr/lib. Tried uninstalling XawTV and libquicktime with no luck - any ideas.

Dave
