Hi all, Hey I'm trying to do some web cam stuff, and I found this link: http://freshmeat.net/projects/libv4l/releases/333037 I was doing the "rpm -qa | grep v4l" and nothing comes up, I did "ls path_to_centos/RPMS/* | grep v4l " and nothing comes up, I did 'yum provides "*/libv4l*"' and nothing comes up. Is the CentOS library for v4l named something different? Is this library something I can just grab and compile and "help" with my v4l efforts? Do I not need this library at all? I'm using 5.6 x86_64. Just a little confused at the moment. Thanks, Jerry
