using this link : http://www.fishpool.org/tag/Acer I learnt that I
need to install linux-uvc driver. I downloaded the driver by :

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk

However, make gives the error :

[root at rohan trunk]# make
Building USB Video Class driver...
make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686/build: No such file or
directory.  Stop.
make: *** [uvcvideo] Error 2

I checked the directory /lib/modules/2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686/. There is a
file build which is a symbolic link to

build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.25.9-76.fc9.i686

How do I install this driver?
