Ponce (who
is a skilled Slacker, this is correct
) told you that
in this post and also suggested that you used SlackBuilds provided @
http://slackbuilds.org instead of mixing packages from different sources. Did you try that? In my opinion it would have been better to give him a feedback in that thread than complaining here.
If that can help I just did that, which worked:
Code:
su - # you need to have root's environment, not only root's privileges
sqg -p guvcview
sbopkg -k -i guvcview # choose (Q)ueuefile
That's all there is to it.

, assuming true that is not pleasant, packages can be a bit different but they have to work

You have to realize that packages from different sources can have completely different contents, at the very least not the same configuration options. So it's not surprising that mixing sources of packages as dependencies can give unexpected results. Of course you may try, but if that fails you're on your own.

and in my personal experience is possible that the build process fails even with packages/dependencies coming out all from SlackBuild.org

This kind of statement is of no use if no example is provided.
