There might still be the problem of the missing config.h problem that I
had to fix before it would compile. Lemme see here

/usr/src/kernels/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-i686/include/linux

cd into this directory (adjusting for your kernel version) and as root 
first: ls config.h
if it's not there then type: touch config.h
You'll get an empty file named config.h and thats OK. Try your compile
again and it should make. But, use the ./gspca_build file to do that for
you. It'll make, install and set everything up for you, Ric
