Ric.

Sorry to trouble you again, but I have a problem. I wonder if you 
would please advise me what to do?

I have done a fresh basic KDE installation on my spare hard drive.

The un-tarring of gspca went OK, as did the ./configure.

However, make stopped with the error message:

/lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build   No such file or directory

There is an empty file called build, but it has a question mark on it.

I haven't a clue what to do about it. The kernel headers are 
installed, but I am wondering if there is another package which 
should have been installed, but is missing. I'm probably wrong, 
though!

I would be using the standard  ./configure,make, make install - if 
that is correct.

Many thanks

Keith
